the speed of deserializing code. The current startup
time improvement for V8 is around 6%, but code deserialization
is speeded up disproportionately, and we will soon have more
code in the snapshot.
* Removed support for deserializing into large object space.
The regular pages are 1Mbyte now and that is plenty. This
is a big simplification.
* Instead of reserving space for the snapshot we actually
allocate it now. This removes some special casing from
the memory management and simplifies deserialization since
we are just bumping a pointer rather than calling the
normal allocation routines during deserialization.
* Record in the snapshot how much we need to boot up and
allocate it instead of just assuming that allocations in
a new VM will always be linear.
* In the snapshot we always address an object as a negative
offset from the current allocation point. We used to
sometimes address from the start of the deserialized data,
but this is less useful now that we have good support for
roots and repetitions in the deserialization data.
* Code objects were previously deserialized (like other
objects) by alternating raw data (deserialized with memcpy)
and pointers (to external references, other objects, etc.).
Now we deserialize code objects with a single memcpy,
followed by a series of skips and pointers that partially
overwrite the code we memcopied out of the snapshot.
The skips are sometimes merged into the following
instruction in the deserialization data to reduce dispatch
time.
* Integers in the snapshot were stored in a variable length
format that gives a compact representation for small positive
integers. This is still the case, but the new encoding can
be decoded without branches or conditional instructions,
which is faster on a modern CPU.

with more JS code that is loaded into the VM before writing the snapshot. Get
rid of the hard coded limit on the partial snapshot cache size. This change
disables most of the serializer tests for the snapshot build of the VM: It's
getting too complicated to support both booting from a snapshot and then
creating a new snapshot from the same VM or loading more code with another
snapshot in the same VM.

The live registers are now only stored to the expression stack with the non pointer values being stored as smis (on the 32-bit platforms these values are assumed to be 31-bit max).
This makes the CEntryStub entry/exit code much simpler, and there is no longer any need for a mode (debug or normal) on it.
Fix a missing live register when breaking at ARM keyed load.

This changes the way the constants kJSObjectType, kFirstNonstringType and kProxyType are made available to the inlined part of the V8 API. This change to fixed constants resolves linker this linker error Windows
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static int v8::internal::Internals::kJSObjectType" (?kJSObjectType@Internals@internal@v8@@2HA)
when linking against a V8 DLL.
This change also makes it possible to build all the C++ tests with ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined. Now C++ tests run ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT not defined, and only the JavaScript tests which tests the debugger fails when ENABLE_DEBUGGER_SUPPORT is not defined.

through the partial snapshot cache. A startup snapshot and a
partial snapshot are created together so that the startup snapshot
contains the partial snapshot cache entries needed.

will happen linearly (no GCs and no free-list allocation). This change also
contains the start of the partial snapshot support, which, however is not yet
completed or tested.

use SSE2 instructions. Also clean up and assertify the
handling of things we can't do when we are generating a
snapshot. Fix a bug in the new serialization tests where
they activated Snapshot::enable() too late after code had been
generated that assumed no snapshots.

In the generated code for function.apply there was a loop checking the stack limit for interruption. This loop would call into the runtime system to handle interuption and keep running until there was no interruption. However if the interuption was debug break the runtime system would never clear the interruption as debug break is prevented in builtins are prevented and the assumption here was that returning with the debug break flag set would move execution forward.
Renamed initial_jslimit and initial_climit to real_jslimit and real_climit. Renamed a few external references related to the stack limit as well.
Exposed the real stack limit to generated code to make the stack check when entering function.apply use the real stack limit and not the stack limit which is changed to signal interruption.
Added the real stack limit to the roots array.
