210216e5e1 hw: simplify Kernel::start_thread
Instead of writing initial thread context to the platform-thread members
and then communicating this core object to kernel, core calls
Kernel::access_thread_regs first to initialize thread context and then
Kernel::start_thread without a platform-thread pointer. This way
the frontend as well as the backend of Kernel::start_thread loose
complexity and it is a first step to remove platform thread from the
vocabulary of the kernel.

909ab8dcd0 hw: communicate page faults via signals
Enable routing of thread events to signal contexts via
Kernel::route_thread_event.

Replace Kernel::set_pager by Kernel::route_thread_event.

In base-hw a pager object is a signal context and a pager activation
is a signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page
faults via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with
its thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the signal context ID of the pager object.
If a pager activation wants to start handling page faults of a pager object,
the pager activation assigns the corresponding signal context to its signal
receiver. If a pager activation wants to stop handling page faults of a pager
object, the pager activation dissolves the corresponding signal context from
its signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page faults
via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with its
thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the invalid signal context ID.

Remove Kernel::resume_faulter.

Move all page fault related code from generic kernel sources to CPU
specific cpu_support.h and cpu_support.cc.
