Virgil Dupras 7cf3ed38da Extract str.asm from core.asm and make core included by userspace
Most of register fiddling routines (which is now the only thing contained
in care.asm) are used by almost all userspace apps, often in inner loops.

That makes the penalty of using jump tables for those a bit too high.
Moreover, it burdens jump tables needlessly.

Because this unit is very small (now that string routines are out), it makes
sense to always include it in binaries.

; Routines used pretty much all everywhere. Unlike all other kernel units,
; this unit is designed to be included directly by userspace apps, not accessed
; through jump tables. The reason for this is that jump tables are a little
; costly in terms of machine cycles and that these routines are not very costly
; in terms of binary space.
; Therefore, this unit has to stay small and tight because it's repeated both
; in the kernel and in userspace. It should also be exclusively for routines
; used in the kernel.
