e85e399fd7 commpage: randomize position of commpage
This patch introduces randomization of commpage position. From now on commpage
table contains offsets from begining to of the commpage to the particular
commpage entry. Similary addresses of symbols in ELF memory image "commpage"
are just offsets from the begining of the commpage.

This patch also updates KDL so that commpage entries are recognized and shown
correctly in stack trace. An update of Debugger is yet to be done.

211f71325a x86: move x86_userspace_thread_exit() from user stack to commpage
x86_userspace_thread_exit() is a stub originally placed at the bottom of
each thread user stack that ensures any thread invokes exit_thread() upon
returning from its main higher level function.

Putting anything that is expected to be executed on a stack causes problems
when implementing data execution prevention. Code of x86_userspace_thread_exit()
is now moved to commpage which seems to be much more appropriate place for it.

24df65921b Merged signals-merge branch into trunk with the following changes:
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
  handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes #5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
  support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
  of the real-time signal range. Closes #1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes #6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
  [set]itimer(). Closes #5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes #5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes #7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

cfe2aa898c Should have been part of the previous commit. x86 commpage definition
for memset().

6b202f4e3d * Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
  several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
  private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
  build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
  may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
  Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
  kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
  headers/private/shared/util).
