Stefan Kalkowski f842c92ee1 hw: correct the ARM cache maintainance operations
This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:

* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
  reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
  page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
  added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance

In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:

* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction

Stefan Kalkowski e9b3569f44 hw: remove overall cache maintainance from core
This functionality is only needed in bootstrap now that kernel and
userland share the same address-space.

Stefan Kalkowski 8e13b376b0 hw: improve cross-cpu synchronization
This commit addresses several multiprocessing issues in base-hw:

* it reworks cross-cpu maintainance work for TLB invalidation by
  introducing a generic Inter_processor_work and removes the so
  called Cpu_domain_update
* thereby it solves the cross-cpu thread destruction, when the
  corresponding thread is active on another cpu (fix #3043)
* it adds the missing TLB shootdown for x86 (fix #3042)
* on ARM it removes the TLB shootdown via IPIs, because this
  is not needed on the multiprocessing ARM platforms we support
* it enables the per-cpu initialization of the kernel's cpu
  objects, which means those object initialization is executed
  by the proper cpu
* it rollbacks prior decision to make multiprocessing an aspect,
  but puts back certain 'smp' mechanisms (like cross-cpu lock)
  into the generic code base for simplicity reasons
