b90c2d7026 rename of mode/context switching functions
- this patch only renames schedcheck() to switch_to_user(),
  cycles_accounting_stop() to context_stop() and restart() to
  +restore_user_context()

- the motivation is that since the introduction of schedcheck() it has
  been abused for many things. It deserves a better name.  It should
  express the fact that from the moment we call the function we are in
  the process of switching to user.

- cycles_accounting_stop() was originally a single purpose function.
  As this function is called at were convenient places it is used in
  for other things too, e.g. (un)locking the kernel. Thus it deserves
  a better name too.

- using the old name, restart() does not call schedcheck(), however
  calls to restart are replaced by calls to schedcheck()
  [switch_to_user] and it calls restart() [restore_user_context]

a774cc832f do_ipc() rearrangements
this patch does not add or change any functionality of do_ipc(), it
only makes things a little cleaner (hopefully).

Until now do_ipc() was responsible for handling all ipc calls. The
catch is that SENDA is fairly different which results in some ugly
code like this typecasting and variables naming which does not make
much sense for SENDA and makes the code hard to read.

result = mini_senda(caller_ptr, (asynmsg_t *)m_ptr, (size_t)src_dst_e);

As it is called directly from assembly, the new do_ipc() takes as
input values of 3 registers in reg_t variables (it used to be 4,
however, bit_map wasn't used so I removed it), does the checks common
to all ipc calls and call the appropriate handler either for
do_sync_ipc() (all except SENDA) or mini_senda() (for SENDA) while
typecasting the reg_t values correctly. As a result, handling SENDA
differences in do_sync_ipc() is no more needed. Also the code that
uses msg_size variable is improved a little bit.

arch_do_syscall() is simplified too.
