libroot/x86: Fix indirect jump

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.

Use the new <asm_defs.h> header in x86 assembly files. Particularly
added FUNCTION_END() calls for a good deal of functions. The respective
ELF symbols do now have a correct size.

* 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).

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).

merge both commpage.h into the private header
Travis, I hope this fits your needs :)

initial support for a commpage, which is a chunk of memory in high kernel space with user readonly permissions.
The first use is to let the kernel decide what the preferred syscall mechanism is at boot time and copy the
appropriate user space code there. Can be used for routines the kernel can decide best how to use (memcpy, some
timing routines, etc).

Simplified the x86 syscall interface a bit. We no longer pass a pointer
to the parameters nor the number of parameters; the kernel is able to
get both without problems.

The syscall functions in libroot (_kern_*()) are now self-contained
(they don't "jmp" to separate code anymore), which at least
theoretically allows gdb to print a stack trace with the syscall
function on the top when a thread is currently performing a syscall.
Practically it doesn't work yet, though, since those functions are
frameless (i.e. create no stack frame) which needs special support
I haven't implemented yet.
