Message:

kernel memory management revisited (phase 1): proper support for zone flags

• the zone_t structures are now statically allocated to be easily available
• the locking scheme was simplified
• new flags for non-available zones were introduced
• FRAME_LOW_4_GiB flag is removed, the functionality will be eventually reimplemented using a generic mechanism
