Ingo Weinhold 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).

Ingo Weinhold 34b3b26b3b Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/optimization revision
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).
