Hmm, I have to run and test it without kernel crash firstly, then review it more
carefully. :)

Some obvious issues found in ffi testing:

- usespace compiled without FFI + ktapvm compiled with FFI
  There reported "error: get key from non-table"
  I think this case should compile failure when ffi used in script,
not "ignore cdef"

- usespace compiled with FFI + ktapvm compiled without FFI
  Also should check it when loading trunk file.

- Compile failed in test/ffi/funct.c. (there have strict checking in
my compiler)
    -void funct_void()
    +void funct_void(void)

- move global variables int global_state (as we found)

- No csym allocation if no ffi used in script (as we found)

After those issues addressed, then we can review further.

This is a big patch set, and a big feature, so I have to spend more time to
review it carefully, and make sure it cannot crash kernel easily. :)

Hopefully we can review the code completely in two weeks, in the meantime,
you can continue develop new things base on current work. :)

Thanks.

Jovi.
