88e3706474 Capability checking added as compiling code.
Capability checking for thread_control, exregs, mutex, cap_control,
ipc, and map system calls.

The visualised model is implemented in code that compiles, but
actual functionality hasn't been tested.

Need to add:
- Dynamic assignment of initial resources matching with what's
defined in the configuration.
- A paged-thread-group, since that would be a logical group of
seperation from a capability point-of-view.
- Resource ids for various tasks. E.g.
  - Memory capabilities don't have target resources.
  - Thread capability assumes current container for THREAD_CREATE.
  - Mutex syscall assumes current thread (this one may not need
    any changing)
  - cap_control syscall assumes current thread. It may happen to
    be that another thread's capability list is manipulated.

Last but not least:
- A simple and easy-to-use userspace library for dynamic expansion
  of resource domains as new resources are created such as threads.

b11d4c4607 Added mutex_control syscall for userspace mutexes.
- Compiles and Codezero runs as normal without touching mutex implementation
- Mutex implementation needs testing.

The mutex control syscall allows userspace programs to declare any virtual
address as a mutex lock and ask for help from the kernel syscall
for resolving locking contentions.

a87914910c Added a new system call sys_timer.
sys_timer accumulates timer ticks into seconds, minutes, hours and days.
It's left to the user to calculate from days into a date. It is not yet
known if the calculation is even roughly correct.

Reduced 2 kmem_reclaim/grant calls into one kmem_control call.
