Funixfs is partially implemented. We can find a file in a directory and read it's content. mkfs.funix is written. This program is used to
create a funixfs filesystem on a device. fcp is written. This program is used to copy a file from a linux system to funixfs filesystem.
kmalloc and kfree pair are implemented. Now we can dynamically allocate memory for the kernel.
