libl4user would need to provide (among others):
  * vm_*() syscalls, implemented as IPCs to the [u]vmserver
    [I'd prefer that we factor out a libuvm library though...]
  * port_*() syscalls, implemented as IPCs to a portserver
  * glue code between l4 threads and pthreads you're working on.
  * <add suggestions here>
