- z_x86_userspace_enter() for both 32-bit and 64-bit now
call into C code to clear the stack buffer and set the
US bits in the page tables for the memory range.
- Page tables are now associated with memory domains,
instead of having separate page tables per thread.
A spinlock protects write access to these page tables,
and read/write access to the list of active page
tables.
- arch_mem_domain_init() implemented, allocating and
copying page tables from the boot page tables.
- struct arch_mem_domain defined for x86. It has
a page table link and also a list node for iterating
over them.

This code had one purpose only, feed timing information into a test and
was not used by anything else. The custom trace points unfortunatly were
not accurate and this test was delivering informatin that conflicted
with other tests we have due to placement of such trace points in the
architecture and kernel code.
For such measurements we are planning to use the tracing functionality
in a special mode that would be used for metrics without polluting the
architecture and kernel code with additional tracing and timing code.
Furthermore, much of the assembly code used had issues.

We no longer plan to support a split address space with
the kernel in high memory and per-process address spaces.
Because of this, we can simplify some things. System RAM
is now always identity mapped at boot.
We no longer require any virtual-to-physical translation
for page tables, and can remove the dual-mapping logic
from the page table generation script since we won't need
to transition the instruction point off of physical
addresses.
CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE and CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_LIMIT
have been removed. The kernel's address space always
starts at CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS, of a fixed size
specified by CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_SIZE.
Driver MMIOs and other uses of k_mem_map() are still
virtually mapped, and the later introduction of demand
paging will result in only a subset of system RAM being
a fixed identity mapping instead of all of it.

The x86 paging code has been rewritten to support another paging mode
and non-identity virtual mappings.
- Paging code now uses an array of paging level characteristics and
walks tables using for loops. This is opposed to having different
functions for every paging level and lots of #ifdefs. The code is
now more concise and adding new paging modes should be trivial.
- We now support 32-bit, PAE, and IA-32e page tables.
- The page tables created by gen_mmu.py are now installed at early
boot. There are no longer separate "flat" page tables. These tables
are mutable at any time.
- The x86_mmu code now has a private header. Many definitions that did
not need to be in public scope have been moved out of mmustructs.h
and either placed in the C file or in the private header.
- Improvements to dumping page table information, with the physical
mapping and flags all shown
- arch_mem_map() implemented
- x86 userspace/memory domain code ported to use the new
infrastructure.
- add logic for physical -> virtual instruction pointer transition,
including cleaning up identity mappings after this takes place.

On x86_64, the arch_timing_* variables are not set which
results in incorrect values being used in the timing_info
benchmarks. So instrument the code for those values.

Implement a set of per-cpu trampoline stacks which all
interrupts and exceptions will initially land on, and also
as an intermediate stack for privilege changes as we need
some stack space to swap page tables.
Set up the special trampoline page which contains all the
trampoline stacks, TSS, and GDT. This page needs to be
present in the user page tables or interrupts don't work.
CPU exceptions, with KPTI turned on, are treated as interrupts
and not traps so that we have IRQs locked on exception entry.
Add some additional macros for defining IDT entries.
Add special handling of locore text/rodata sections when
creating user mode page tables on x86-64.
Restore qemu_x86_64 to use KPTI, and remove restrictions on
enabling user mode on x86-64.

- In early boot, enable the syscall instruction and set up
necessary MSRs
- Add a hook to update page tables on context switch
- Properly initialize thread based on whether it will
start in user or supervisor mode
- Add landing function for system calls to execute the
desired handler
- Implement arch_user_string_nlen()
- Implement logic for dropping a thread down to user mode
- Reserve per-CPU storage space for user and privilege
elevation stack pointers, necessary for handling syscalls
when no free registers are available
- Proper handling of gs register considerations when
transitioning privilege levels
Kernel page table isolation (KPTI) is not yet implemented.
