cada0f8f18 New UTCB implementation almost working.
- KIP's pointer to UTCB seems to work with existing l4lib ipc functions.
- Works up to clone()
- In clone we mmap() the same UTCB on each new thread - excessive.
- Generally during page fault handling, cloned threads may fault on the same page
  multiple times even though a single handling would be enough for all of them.
  Need to detect and handle this.

7a81db8782 Ongoing work for adding per-thread UTCB structures.
Added setting of utcb address to l4_thread_control.
This is going to be moved to exchange_registers() since we need to pass
both the utcb physical and virtual address and exregs fits such context
modification better than thread_control.

dce3a9a47c Merged some libl4 utcb headers, moved mr defs to kernel message.h
Headers 3 headers related to message registers and utcbs are now merged under
utcb.h in libl4. Some message register definitions used by the kernel are now
moved into kernel's glue/message.h. This avoids the duplication of same
definitions. Also the total number of mregs are now determined by arch-specific
kernel header, which is good.
