This change adds warnings, but they will disappear after move to 3.14,
where %pa is supported.

This fixes an oops when programs access ethtool methods, especially
wrn_get_drvinfo. It can be reproduced by a simple run of "irqbalance",
which I never did in my development machine.

This branch adds WRS shared memory, and makes the HAL use it.
Clients (both locally with libwr and ppsi without libwr) now
access port status with shared memory.

We also have a shmem-dumping tool, that helped auditing the
data structure (but changes to them are not applied yet).

As a side effect libwr and the hal are passed throught Lindent,
but before any change, so you can still blame these changes.

merge load-fpga.c and load-virtex.c

This moves the query_ports() and get_port_state() to be shared memory
lookups.

The hal_client.c file now accesses shared memory at init time, and
performes the two functions above by looking in shared memory.

The thing is sill suboptimal, because the "exported" hexp_port_state_t
structure is only slightly different from struct hal_port_state. And
most fields being looked up are never filled.

Last but not least, halexp_get_timing_state() is not ready to be
converted to shared memory at this point in time (timing data is not
stored to shmem yet).

This has no effect on the code functionality.

Even if it affects libwr, this is a hal-only change.  The functions
in libwr that the hal itself uses, now receive a pointer to ports[],
which is thus back a static pointer within wrsw_hal/hal_ports.c.

This change allows moving the RPC queries to be shared memory lookups,
by using the ports[] pointer in the client; so both the client and
the server can access the same shared mamory using libwr functions.

They are the usual 0 and -1: some functions returned the names, but
no caller was checking the names. Also, PORT_BUSY (which was 1) was
never used specially, so it is turned into a normal -1 error.

Even though the idea of using a single helper process for all
web queries is sound, this is not it. No more comments from me.

The stdout and stderr of the basic WR tools are piled to the "logger"
process, to get actual logs saved, if so configured for.

Thus, we should not reopen the output channels to /dev/null

This is the first step to move the "get_port_state" query to shared
memory.  The internal structures of hal_ports.c will be allocated
in shared memory, so the calls to halexp_* will just convert the data,
without context-switching to the hal process.

I couldn't add the functions to libwr/hal_client.c where they belong,
because the choice of using the same "halexp" names for local and remote
calls would lead to duplicate symbol definitions when linking the hal
(the hal process links libwr, but can't link hal_client.o).
Thus, libwr/hal_shmem.c is created, to host the parts of hal/hal_ports.c
that are needed to convert data.
