CONFIG_SYSCALLS: Linux system call interface

The system call interface allows user-space programs compiled for Linux to run.

@alilly building a computer but forgetting to give it a power button

@clarfonthey in theory this could allow some kind of alternate syscall interface to be built on top of Linux's internals

@alilly yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of just making an OS be the entire program but without system calls

still cursed though, especially since it's not like you'd be able to easily make use of the Linux source that way

and I'm pretty sure a lot of the internal mechanisms would rely on some form of system calls anyway, even if not precisely the same as the public interface

@clarfonthey Yeah it would require significant changes to make this possible, you can't just slap some ifdefs around all the sys_*() functions and call it a day.
