Stefan Kalkowski 5c77ebb1fb hw: factor out x86 specific bootinfo
Ref #3326

Norman Feske 7d641d5f1f base: add Reconstructible::conditional method
The new 'conditional' method simplifies the typical use case for
'Constructible' objects where the constructed/destructed state depends
on a configuration parameter. The method alleviates the need to
re-implement the logic again and again.

The patch also removes the 'Reconstructible' constructor arguments
because they are unused.

Fixes #3006

Alexander Boettcher bf340eee91 hw: provide CPU count to core by bootstrap
The count is supposed to provide the actual available CPUs, which may not
be equal to NR_OF_CPUS.

Stefan Kalkowski 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

Stefan Kalkowski 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

Stefan Kalkowski 42db1e112b hw: introduce kernel/user address space split
* introduces central memory map for core/kernel
* on 32-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0x80000000
* on 64-bit platforms the kernel/core starts at 0xffffffc000000000
* mark kernel/core mappings as global ones (tagged TLB)
* move the exception vector to begin of core's binary,
  thereby bootstrap knows from where to map it appropriately
* do not map boot modules into core anymore
* constrain core's virtual heap memory area
* differentiate in between user's and core's main thread's UTCB,
  which now resides inside the kernel segment

Stefan Kalkowski cf943dac65 hw: bootstrap into kernel
Put the initialization of the cpu cores, setup of page-tables, enabling of
MMU and caches into a separate component that is only used to bootstrap
the kernel resp. core.
