23139 into trunk, with roughly the following changes (for details svn
log the branch):
* The int 99 syscall handler is now fully in assembly.
* Added a sysenter/sysexit handler and use it on Pentiums that support
it (via commpage).
* Got rid of i386_handle_trap(). A bit of functionality was moved into
the assembly handler which now uses a jump table to call C functions
handling the respective interrupt.
* Some optimizations to get user debugger support code out of the
interrupt handling path.
* Introduced a thread::flags fields which allows to skip handling of
rare events (signals, user debug enabling/disabling) on the
common interrupt handling path.
* Got rid of the explicit iframe stack. The iframes can still be
retrieved by iterating through the stack frames.
* Made the commpage an architecture independent feature. It's used for
the real time data stuff (instead of creating a separate area).
* The x86 CPU modules can now provide processor optimized versions for
common functions (currently memcpy() only). They are used in the
kernel and are provided to the userland via commpage entries.
* Introduced build system feature allowing easy use of C structure
member offsets in assembly code.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed merge conflict in src/system/kernel/arch/x86/arch_debug.cpp
(caused by refactoring and introduction of "call" debugger command).

* On exec() the new function thread_reset_for_exec() is called which clears the signals
and cancels an eventually set alarm. Both things weren't done before...
* Some minor cleanups.

turned off - accessing userland memory. Now, arch_thread_enter_userspace() does that
job, and as a result, may also fail.
* dump_thread() now directly prints the info of the current thread when used without
argument (rather than iterating the thread list to look for the current thread).
* If arch_thread_init_tls() fails upon thread creation, the function will now return
an error.

Renamed i386_set_kstack() to i386_set_tss_and_kstack(), because that's what
it does.
Added a new function arch_thread_init_tls() which must be called after
having allocated the TLS area.
Renamed arch_thread_initialize_kthread_stack() to arch_thread_init_kthread_stack()
to be more consistent.
Changed the parameters for arch_thread_enter_uspace() - it now gets a pointer
to the thread structure and takes the user stack pointer from there (which
might also be architectural different).

Changed the file_descriptor structure (more status_t, name removed).
Changed "extern inline" to "static inline" in thread.h/arch_thread.h as those
also work with -O0 -g.
Added prototypes for [arch_cpu_]user_strlcpy().
