Description of the problem

This subsystem is one huge hack and is full of bugs, we need to write it from scratch.

Steps to reproduce

Try doing anything using IPC.

Expected results

It works if your change is correct.

Actual results

Nothing works because of bugs in IPC :)

To be honest, we need to properly prepare for this IPC rewrite. It's not just a matter of emulating what Linux does, it's a matter of writing a clean and performant distributed OS primitives.

I guess some background reading on microkernels, IPC messages, and alike is a pre-requisite here.
