proj2-CMSC421-OS

Description

Implement the system calls enabling an IPC mailbox system.
My approach relied intensively on the development of a detailied prototype.After figuring out and testing mostly in the protoype, I transfered and translated my system calls to the kernel. I developed a test driver(incomplete), compiled the kernel, installed the newly compiled kernel, polished up the Readme files, and removed extraneous Clion files.
