Ingo Weinhold d648afb8d7 * For each userland team the kernel creates an area in the userland
address space that is fully locked and marked B_KERNEL_AREA. It can
  thus be accessed by the kernel without additional checks.
* For each userland thread we do create a user_thread structure in that
  area. The structure is accessible from userland via TLS, using the
  private get_user_thread() function.
* Introduced private userland functions [un]defer_signals(). They can be
  used to cheaply disable/re-enable signal delivery. They use the
  user_thread::defer_signals/pending_signals fields which are
  checked/updated by the kernel.

/* User space layout is a little special:
* The user space does not completely cover the space not covered by the
* kernel. There is a gap of 64kb between the user and kernel space. The 64kb
* region assures a user space thread cannot pass a buffer into the kernel as
* part of a syscall that would cross into kernel space.
* Furthermore no areas are placed in the lower 1Mb unless the application
* explicitly requests it to find null pointer references.
* TODO: introduce the 1Mb lower barrier again - it's only used for vm86 mode,
* and this should be moved into the kernel (and address space) completely.
