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.


# b18c9b97 10-Oct-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Implemented x86 assembly version of memset().
* memset() is now available through the commpage.
* CPU modules can provide a model-optimized memset().

# 6b202f4e 13-May-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* 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).

# 34b3b26b 10-Jan-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

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).

# 621b401d 16-Apr-2007 Travis Geiselbrecht <geist@foobox.com>

set the function attribute on the asm memcpy.
This should fix the loader problem some folks were seeing on beos binaries.

# 831486a2 16-Apr-2007 Travis Geiselbrecht <geist@foobox.com>

Turn the assembly optimized memcpy (simple rep movsd) back on for x86. Had to hack around the make system a bit, and the result is pretty nasty, specifically due to the amount of places in the system where various targets poke their fingers into the libroot directory.
The solution is less than optimal, but should work for now.
