* The bulk of the work -- i.e. juggling the software and hardware breakpoints,
watchpoints, and memory reads/writes -- is done in the new class
BreakpointManager.
* For the architectures a few capability macros have to be defined, one
pointing to the software breakpoint instruction opcode. Done for x86.
* Some more simplifications in the user debugger code, made possible by the
recently introduced debugger_changed_condition attribute.

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).

with the bit number, not the respective mask).
* Added a small hack to allow single stepping to work in qemu.
Apparently the BS bit in DR6 is not set when the debug exception
is handled. So we always assume that a single step event occurred,
when we couldn't recognize any other event, if the hack is enabled.

we only have 3 debug registers available for break-/watchpoints.
* Added definitions for debug status register DR6. Reordered DR7 defs to
ascending order. Added definitions for the EFLAGS flags we need.
* Added arch_thread_debug_info structure and related definitions.
