For Discussion: User-level synchronous invocation using shared VAS implementation

[evanstella]

Summary of this Pull Request (PR)

This PR is for discussion only. I pulled @ldierksheide 's code and implemented a primitive MPK callgate. This code is a baseline for a discussion on what the final user-level invocations should look like. The most notable thing missing from this iteration is a user-level kernel to facilitate IPC and kernel-level support for fault and abuse handling.
