Alexander Boettcher ae6257dce1 Use NOVA microkernel from github, add 64bit
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode

Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.

On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.

In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
