Michael LeMay 4cdb7ba9b6 x86: Add TSS-based protection domain support
This patch extends the protection domain framework with an additional
plugin to use Task-State Segment (TSS) structures to offload much of
the work of switching protection domains to the CPU.  This can save
space compared to paging, since paging requires two 4KiB page tables
and one 32-byte page table plus one whole-system TSS and an additional
32-byte data structure for each protection domain, whereas the
approach implemented by this patch just requires a 128-byte data
structure for each protection domain.  Only a small number of
protection domains will typically be used, so
n * 128 < 8328 + (n * 32).

For additional information, please refer to cpu/x86/mm/README.md.

GCC 6 is introducing named address spaces for the FS and GS segments
[1].  LLVM Clang also provides address spaces for the FS and GS
segments [2].  This patch also adds support to the multi-segment X86
memory management subsystem for using these features instead of inline
assembly blocks, which enables type checking to detect some address
space mismatches.
