113d14c440 [kernel] Get rid of page_manager
page_manager is dead - final uses replaced in vm_space (page_in and
clear). Removed the header and cpp, and other lingering references.

deb2fa0a09 [kernel] Use kernel proc space as kernel space
As mentioned in the last commit, with processes owning spaces, there was
a weird extra space in the "kernel" process that owns the kernel
threads. Now we use that space as the global kernel space, and don't
create a separate one.

9aa08a70cf [kernel] Begin replacing page_manager with vm_space
This is the first commit of several reworking the VM system. The main
focus is replacing page_manager's global functionality with objects
representing individual VM spaces. The main changes in this commit were:

- Adding the (as yet unused) vm_area object, which will be the main
  point of control for programs to allocate or share memory.
- Replace the old vm_space with a new one based on state in its page
  tables. They will also be containers for vm_areas.
- vm_space takes over from page_manager as the page fault handler
- Commented out the page walking in memory_bootstrap; I'll probably need
  to recreate this functionality, but it was broken as it was.
- Split out the page_table.h implementations from page_manager.cpp into
  the new page_table.cpp, updated it, and added page_table::iterator as
  well.

The vm_space code should not have been in kutil, moving it to kernel.

f27b133089 [kernel] Rename stack_cache to buffer_cache
Renamed and genericized the stack_cache class to manage any address
range area of buffers or memory regions. Removed singleton and created
some globals that map to different address regions (kernel stacks,
kernel buffers).
