4e97a6511b hw: switch page-tables only when necessary
* Instead of always re-load page-tables when a thread context is switched
  only do this when another user PD's thread is the next target,
  core-threads are always executed within the last PD's page-table set
* remove the concept of the mode transition
* instead map the exception vector once in bootstrap code into kernel's
  memory segment
* when a new page directory is constructed for a user PD, copy over the
  top-level kernel segment entries on RISCV and X86, on ARM we use a designated
  page directory register for the kernel segment
* transfer the current CPU id from bootstrap to core/kernel in a register
  to ease first stack address calculation
* align cpu context member of threads and vms, because of x86 constraints
  regarding the stack-pointer loading
* introduce Align_at template for members with alignment constraints
* let the x86 hardware do part of the context saving in ISS, by passing
  the thread context into the TSS before leaving to user-land
* use one exception vector for all ARM platforms including Arm_v6

ca60e24ad9 hw: run core threads in privileged mode
* introduce new syscall (core-only) to create privileged threads
* take the privilege level of the thread into account
  when doing a context switch
* map kernel segment as accessable for privileged code only

de06eefbac hw: evaluate write fault on RO page
rm_fault.run triggers write on read-only ROM provided by core, which
fails without this patch:

arm - "raised unhandled data abort"
x86 - (silent/invisible) busy loop because write fault gets never resolved
