4ee8919f29 nova: use 16bit for reference count of caps
Bomb and any server may generate references to capabilities exceeding 256 -
use a 16bit counter until the cap handling in Genode gets unified.

Additionally try to print a warning, instead of dying, if we get cap reference
count under or overflow.

b949489641 base: remove local capability from generic base
* Instead of using local capabilities within core's context area implementation
  for stack allocation/attachment, simply do both operations while stack gets
  attached, thereby getting rid of the local capabilities in generic code
* In base-hw the UTCB of core's main thread gets mapped directly instead of
  constructing a dataspace component out of it and hand over its local
  capability
* Remove local capability implementation from all platforms except Linux

a46de84f89 Fix race condition in page fault notification
When a page fault cannot be resolved, the GDB monitor can get a hint about
which thread faulted by evaluating the thread state object returned by
'Cpu_session::state()'. Unfortunately, with the current implementation,
the signal which informs GDB monitor about the page fault is sent before
the thread state object of the faulted thread has been updated, so it
can happen that the faulted thread cannot be determined immediately
after receiving the signal.

With this commit, the thread state gets updated before the signal is sent.

At least on base-nova it can also happen that the thread state is not
accessible yet after receiving the page fault notification. For this
reason, GDB monitor needs to retry its query until the state is
accessible.

Fixes #1206.

786fe805da base: introduce caching attributes (fix #1184)
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.

ca971bbfd8 Move repositories to 'repos/' subdirectory
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
