Daniel Samson 4ca57fc37e kernel: record who gave each device away
One field, and the rest of the run follows from it. A device that was given
to someone is delegated hardware: it may be handed on, never taken, and when
its holder dies it goes back to whoever lent it instead of becoming free for
anyone to grab.

It also settles the framebuffer without mentioning it. Nobody delegates the
loader's framebuffer, so it has no giver, so the display service claims it
exactly as it always has — no exemption and no reference to display anywhere
in the rule.

No behaviour changes here; the field is recorded and read by nothing yet.

The test found a real bug on its first run, before the discrimination check.
The sentinel for "nobody gave this" was 0 — and task 0 is a real task, the
kernel's own, so a device given away by task 0 read back as belonging to
nobody. Both giver and registrar are optionals now. The second was a latent
bug from D9: the per-registrar allowance would have miscounted every device
task 0 registered.
