 protect hardware interrupt vectors from user INT instructions?
 
-i'm getting a curious interrupt when jumping into user space. maybe
-it's IRQ 0, but it comes at a weird and changing vector (e.g. 119) if
-you don't initialize the PIC. why doesn't jos see this? if i
-initialize the PIC with IRQ_OFFSET 32, the interrupt arrives at vector
-32.

 test out-of-fd cases for creating pipe.
-test pipe circular buffer
-test pipe writer or reader closes while other active or waiting
-test exit vs fd reference counts
-test write of more than PIPESIZE
-test reader goes first vs writer goes first
-test streaming of a lot of data
+test pipe reader closes then write
+test two readers, two writers.
