Review comment:
> The reason I chose the name ksys_call() and made the separate
functions is analogous to how for example the memory allocators are implemented
now. There are separate malloc/kmalloc functions for example. Both are needed.
This is the case with the syscall functions also.
But kmm_malloc will map to malloc in flat build, which make kmm_malloc work
in all possible mode(flat, protected and kernel). sys_callx should hand in the
same way, which mean that either user or kernel could call these function if
the want to invoke the kernel function, its the responsibility of sys_callx to
map the implementation to the right action base on the environment.
