b694045bd9 hw: get rid of Kernel::current_thread_id
Every thread receives a startup message from its creator through the initial
state of its userland thread-context. The thread-startup code remembers the
kernel name of the new thread by reading this message before the userland
thread-context gets polluted. This way, Kernel::current_thread_id becomes
unnecessary.

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.

31d57a6257 Nested init on i.MX31 via base_hw. Rework base_hw.
Implies support for the ARMv6 architecture through 'base-hw'.

Get rid of 'base/include/drivers' expect of 'base/include/drivers/uart'.

Merge with the support for trustzone on VEA9X4 that came from
Stefan Kalkowski.

Leave board drivers in 'base/include/platform'.

Rework structure of the other drivers that were moved to
'base_hw/src/core' and those that came with the trustzone support.

Beautify further stuff in 'base_hw'.

Test 'nested_init' with 'hw_imx31' (hardware) and 'hw_panda_a2' (hardware),
'demo' and 'signal' with 'hw_pbxa9' (qemu) and 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, no trustzone), and 'vmm' with 'hw_vea9x4'
(hardware, with trustzone).
