f4bd2368f6 hw: cancel unresolved faults before pager dissolve
If an RM client gets dissolved the RM server tries to first
dissolve and then destruct the according pager object. As pager objects
previously cancelled unresolved faults only in destructor the dissolve
operation blocked forever when an unresolved fault existed.
As every pager object should get dissolved before it gets destructed
(signal-context complains otherwise) no more unresolved-fault cancelling
is needed in the destructor.

909ab8dcd0 hw: communicate page faults via signals
Enable routing of thread events to signal contexts via
Kernel::route_thread_event.

Replace Kernel::set_pager by Kernel::route_thread_event.

In base-hw a pager object is a signal context and a pager activation
is a signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page
faults via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with
its thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the signal context ID of the pager object.
If a pager activation wants to start handling page faults of a pager object,
the pager activation assigns the corresponding signal context to its signal
receiver. If a pager activation wants to stop handling page faults of a pager
object, the pager activation dissolves the corresponding signal context from
its signal receiver. If a thread wants to start communicating its page faults
via a pager object, the thread calls Kernel::route_thread_event with its
thread ID, event ID "FAULT", and the invalid signal context ID.

Remove Kernel::resume_faulter.

Move all page fault related code from generic kernel sources to CPU
specific cpu_support.h and cpu_support.cc.
