a258caa7ab nova: propagate bdf for assign_pci properly
Now, the right PCI bus:device:function (BDF) is reported to the kernel
during assign_pci syscall - beforehand it was ever 0:0.0. The BDF is
needed to lookup the correct DMAR unit the kernel has to configure. This
was revealed as the DMAR unit for Intel graphics on x201 is not the same
as for all other PCI devices we have drivers for on this platform.

ceb04d3c11 nova: avoid race in pager_object destruction
Don't skip the cleanup call if a pager object is marked as blocked.

It happens that the pager_object is in destruction but it is also used
concurrently by the pager thread. The pager thread handling code may set the
pager object to blocked but still uses the pointer to the pager object. Avoid
locking at the state of the pager object and make the cleanup call everytime.

Error output looks like this, where the pf_ip is within

  void Pager_object::_page_fault_handler(addr_t pager_obj)

method and the pf_addr is the stale pointer to the already released pager_object.

no RM attachment (READ pf_addr=xxx pf_ip=xxx from 00 <NULL>)
static void Genode::Pager_object::_page_fault_handler(Genode::addr_t): page fault, thread '<NULL>', cpu x, ip=xxx, fault address=xxx

PAGE-FAULT IN CORE (READ pf_addr=b10e0090 pf_ip=132dbc from 00 <NULL>)

985c01116b nova: PIC compatible syscall_5
Addressing must be PC-relative, so adapt the approach from the other
nova_x86_32 syscall bindings (description by @ssumpf):

  Use call to push the current IP on the stack and add the distance of
  label 0 and label 1 in order to determine the return address, which
  NOVA requires in edx.

The bug only showed up with "-O0" in libc.lib.so in form of a unwanted
text relocation.

b585583ec7 core: do not destroy in object pool's apply scope
Destroying an object within the scope of a lambda/functor executed
in the object pool's apply function leads potentially to memory corruption.
Within the scope the corresponding object is locked and unlocked when
leaving the scope. Therefore, it is illegal to free the object's memory meanwhile.
This commit eliminates several places in core that destroyed wrongly in
the object pool's scope.

ccb968ff7d safeguard the synchronized allocator template
* Move the Synced_interface from os -> base
* Align the naming of "synchronized" helpers to "Synced_*"
* Move Synced_range_allocator to core's private headers
* Remove the raw() and lock() members from Synced_allocator and
  Synced_range_allocator, and re-use the Synced_interface for them
* Make core's Mapped_mem_allocator a friend class of Synced_range_allocator
  to enable the needed "unsafe" access of its physical and virtual allocators

ed52d5a211 Introduce 'spec' subdirectories to outline aspects
Instead of holding SPEC-variable dependent files and directories inline
within the repository structure, move them into 'spec' subdirectories
at the corresponding levels, e.g.:

  repos/base/include/spec
  repos/base/mk/spec
  repos/base/lib/mk/spec
  repos/base/src/core/spec
  ...

Moreover, this commit removes the 'platform' directories. That term was
used in an overloaded sense. All SPEC-relative 'platform' directories are
now named 'spec'. Other files, like for instance those related to the
kernel/architecture specific startup library, where moved from 'platform'
directories to explicit, more meaningful places like e.g.: 'src/lib/startup'.

eafe5e81e3 core: unify and simplify paging code (Fix #1641)
For most platforms except of NOVA a distinction between pager entrypoint
and pager activation is not needed, and only exists due to historical
reasons. Moreover, the pager thread's execution path is almost identical
between most platforms excluding NOVA, HW, and Fisco.OC. Therefore,
this commit unifies the pager loop for the other platforms, and removes
the pager activation class.

f87c573695 nova: increase default capability selector count
The reference count get increase to use 2 bytes, so we need the double amount
of selectors as before.

Additionally print a message if we run out of capabilities in a server. Since
our rpc framework is now clever enough to detect that for a printf we don't
need to setup a receive window, we may use a printf instead of a die call.
Eases debugging.

0f05fa6fd4 base: resolve dead lock in weak pointer templates
This commit eliminates the mutual interlaced taking of destruction lock,
list lock and weak pointer locks that could lead to a dead-lock situation
when a lock pointer was tried to construct while a weak object is in
destruction progress.
Now, all weak pointers are invalidated and dequeued at the very
beginning of the weak object's destruction. Moreover, before a weak pointer
gets invalidated during destruction of a weak object, it gets dequeued, and
the list lock is freed again to avoid the former dead-lock.
