    kernel - Add syscall quick return path for x86-64
    
    * Flag the case where a sysretq can be performed to quickly return
      from a system call instead of having to execute the slower doreti
      code.
    
    * This about halves syscall times for simple system calls such as
      getuid(), and reduces longer syscalls by ~80ns or so on a fast
      3.4GHz SandyBridge, but does not seem to really effect performance
      a whole lot.
