[PATCH v2 00/18] mini-os: remove struct file dependency on config

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Today the layout of struct file is depending on the Mini-OS
configuration. This is especially bad as the layout is exported to
external users like the Xen libraries built for Mini-OS, and those
are being built only once for multiple stubdom configurations.

Today there is no direct problem resulting from this, as the main
difference between struct file layouts is a large union containing all
the device specific data for the different file types. The largest
union member is not configuration dependant, so the build is currently
not broken.

In order to avoid any future problems this patch series is eliminating
the configuration dependency by replacing most of the device specific
union members by a single pointer.

The two union members used by Xen libraries can't be replaced yet, as
those need to be switched to use the generic pointer first.

In order to hide the Mini-OS internal implementation of the files
array, patches 15-17 are introducing a common framework to access a
struct file via its file descriptor, and to allocate new file types
dynamically instead of having them all pre-defined. The file type
specific operations are supplied via a function vector in order to
remove the dependency of lib/sys.c on all the various file types.

Changes in V2:
- added 3 more patches
