Introduce core functions and structures for implementing Address Space
Isolation (ASI). Kernel address space isolation provides the ability to
run some kernel code with a reduced kernel address space.
An address space isolation is defined with a struct asi structure which
has its own page-table. While, for now, this page-table is empty, it
will eventually be possible to populate it so that it is much smaller
than the full kernel page-table.
Isolation is entered by calling asi_enter() which switches the kernel
page-table to the address space isolation page-table. Isolation is then
exited by calling asi_exit() which switches the page-table back to the
kernel page-table.
