Kernel: separate userland ABI on kernel page
Currently, the userland ABI uses a single field ('user_sp') far
into the very large 'kinfo' structure on the shared kernel
information page. This precludes us from modifying or getting
rid of 'kinfo' in the future without breaking userland. This
patch adds a separate 'kuserinfo' structure to the kernel
information page, with only information that is part of the
userland ABI, in an extensible manner. Userland now uses this
field if it is present, and falls back to the old field if not.

Abstract away minix_kerninfo access
Instead of importing an external _minix_kerninfo variable, any code
using the shared kernel page should now call get_minix_kerninfo(3).
Since this is the only logical name for such a function, rename the
previous get_minix_kerninfo call to ipc_minix_kerninfo.
