SYSENTER/SYSCALL support

. add cpufeature detection of both
. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
  for call number
. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
  has to save it
. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
  done as some information is missing.
. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
  sigreturn case.
. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1
