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.

59ae45c1ab Fixed commpage for x86_64.
Since the commpage is at a kernel address, changed 64-bit paging code
to match x86's behaviour of allowing user-accessible mappings to be
created in the kernel portion of the address space. This is also
required by some drivers.

f76bc433e1 Added some x86_64 system/kernel headers and kernel Jamfiles.
* Not all of these headers are correct yet, just adding what's necessary
  to get things to compile for the time being.

65ad1ba320 Made it possible to build the bootloader when targetting x86_64.
* x86_64 is using the existing *_ia32 boot platforms.
* Special flags are required when compiling the loader to get GCC to compile
  32-bit code. This adds a new set of rules for compiling boot code rather
  than using the kernel rules, which compile using the necessary flags.
* Some x86_64 private headers have been stubbed by #include'ing the x86
  versions. These will be replaced later.
