Martin Stein f128a52e8b hw: get rid of struct Msg and Msg::Type
Struct Msg was introduced due to the handling of pagefaults
and interrupts via synchronous IPC. Its only purpose was to provide
the message type in front of the typed message. Now pagefaults and
interrupts are handled via signals and struct Msg is not necessary
anymore.
