	To test the module, do the following:

		cd module
		make load

	A load message (the copyright) will be printed on the console.

		cd ../test
		make load

	The system call prints a message on the console when called.
	This message will be preinted when running "make load" in
	the "test" subdirectory.

	The system call consumes 8 pages of memory when loaded; it
	can be freed up by unloading it.  To unload it, type the
