The _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit does not really indicate that this is a new page,
but rather whether this entry needs to be synced or not. Renaming it
to _PAGE_NEEDSYNC will make it more clear how everything ties together.

When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will
always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or
unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check
on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will
allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.

Conceptually, we want the memory mappings to always be up to date and
represent whatever is in the TLB. To ensure that, we need to sync them
over in the userspace case and for the kernel we need to process the
mappings.

The kernel will call flush_tlb_* if page table entries that were valid
before become invalid. Unfortunately, this is not the case if entries
are added.

As such, change both flush_tlb_* and set_ptes to track the memory range
that has to be synchronized. For the kernel, we need to execute a
flush_tlb_kern_* immediately but we can wait for the first page fault in
case of set_ptes. For userspace in contrast we only store that a range
of memory needs to be synced and do so whenever we switch to that
process.

The HVC update was mostly used to compress consecutive calls into one.
This is mostly relevant for userspace where it is already handled by the
syscall stub code.

Simplify the whole logic and consolidate it for both kernel and
userspace. This does remove the sequential syscall compression for the
kernel, however that shouldn't be the main factor in most runs.

As running the syscalls is expensive due to context switches, we should
do so as late as possible in case more syscalls need to be queued later
on. This will also benefit a later move to a SECCOMP enabled userspace
as in that case the need for extra context switches is removed entirely.

Rework syscall handling to be platform independent. Also create a clean
split between queueing of syscalls and flushing them out, removing the
need to keep state in the code that triggers the syscalls.

The code adds syscall_data_len to the global mm_id structure. This will
be used later to allow surrounding code to track whether syscalls still
need to run and if errors occurred.
