- 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.

A new 'struct x86_cpuboot' is created as well as an instance called
'x86_cpuboot[]' which contains per-CPU boot data (initial stack,
entry function/arg, selectors, etc.). The locore now consults this
table to set up per-CPU registers, etc. during early boot.
Also, rename tss.c to cpu.c as its scope is growing.

Declare the 64-bit TSS as a struct, and define the instance in C.
Add a data segment selector that overlaps the TSS and keep that
loaded in GS so we can access the TSS via a segment-override prefix.

Fleshed out z_arch_esf_t and added code to build this frame when
exceptions occur. Created a separate small stack for exceptions and
shifted the initialization code to use this instead of the IRQ stack.
Moved IRQ stack(s) to irq.c.

First "complete" version of Intel64 support for x86. Compilation of
apps for supported boards (read: up_squared) with CONFIG_X86_LONGMODE=y
is now working. Booting, device drivers, interrupts, scheduling, etc.
appear to be functioning properly. Beware that this is ALHPA quality,
not ready for production use, but the port has advanced far enough that
it's time to start working through the test suite and samples, fleshing
out any missing features, and squashing bugs.

This patch adds basic build infrastructure, definitions, a linker
script, etc. to use the Zephyr and 0.10.1 SDK to build a 64-bit
ELF binary suitable for use with GRUB to minimally bootstrap an
Apollo Lake (e.g., UpSquared) board. The resulting binary can hardly
be called a Zephyr kernel as it is lacking most of the glue logic,
but it is a starting point to flesh those out in the x86 tree.
The "kernel" builds with a few harmless warnings, both with GCC from
the Zephyr SDK and with ICC (which is currently being worked on in
a separate branch). These warnings are either related to pointer size
differences (since this is an LP64 build) and/or dummy functions
that will be replaced with working versions shortly.
