Andrew Boie 7f4d006959 kernel: fix errno access for user mode
The errno "variable" is required to be thread-specific.
It gets defined to a macro which dereferences a pointer
returned by a kernel function.

In user mode, we cannot simply read/write the thread struct.
We do not have thread-local storage mechanism, so for now
use the lowest address of the thread stack to store this
value, since this is guaranteed to be read/writable by
a user thread.

The downside of this approach is potential stack corruption
if the stack pointer goes down this far but does not exceed
the location, since a fault won't be generated in this case.
