Andreas Kling 794758df3a Kernel: Implement some basic stack pointer validation ...

VM regions can now be marked as stack regions, which is then validated
on syscall, and on page fault.

If a thread is caught with its stack pointer pointing into anything
that's *not* a Region with its stack bit set, we'll crash the whole
process with SIGSTKFLT.

Userspace must now allocate custom stacks by using mmap() with the new
MAP_STACK flag. This mechanism was first introduced in OpenBSD, and now
we have it too, yay! :^)
