initial support for a commpage, which is a chunk of memory in high kernel space with user readonly permissions.

The first use is to let the kernel decide what the preferred syscall mechanism is at boot time and copy the
appropriate user space code there. Can be used for routines the kernel can decide best how to use (memcpy, some
timing routines, etc).
