   Simon Zeni ported the Helios EFI bootloader to the Bunnix boot protocol last night, so I'm doing some other boot improvements this morning to get EFI support upstreamed

     Okay, about done for today. Summary of day 14 writing a Unix clone:

     New syscalls: exit, waitpid

     Improvements to openat: enforces read/write mode, supports O_DIRECTORY, O_APPEND, O_TRUNC, O_EXCL, and O_CLOEXEC

     Added an inode cache

     Optimized the MMU code for fork and process clean-up (still no CoW, though)

     And laid some groundwork for signals, which I have been dreading from the start.
