Change stackgap_alloc to bounds-check the allocation vs. the stack
gap, returning NULL if there isn't room for the allocation.
Change emul_find() to check for a NULL return from stackgap_alloc()
and convert that into ENAMETOOLONG.
Reorder various emulation syscalls so that all *_CHECK_ALT_{EXIST,CREAT}
calls (which turn into emul_find() under the covers come *after* small,
fixed-size stackgap_alloc() calls.
Clean up ibcs2 {get,set}groups.
zeroes) if the mapped signal number comes up zero. Previously, sigaction1()
would return an error, confusing some linux apps trying to set handlers for
"all" signals.
doing a cpu_set_kpc(), just pass the entry point and argument all
the way down the fork path starting with fork1(). In order to
avoid special-casing the normal fork in every cpu_fork(), MI code
passes down child_return() and the child process pointer explicitly.
This fixes a race condition on multiprocessor systems; a CPU could
grab the newly created processes (which has been placed on a run queue)
before cpu_set_kpc() would be performed.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
* when finding an interface, try the real name first before faking eth*
* Linux kernel returns ENODEV if the request goes to unknown interface,
so do the same here
This change makes Linux ICA client work.

XXX NOTE: We should do something to probe capabilities, rather than allowing
these ioctls on any device.
- When the exit signal is specified to be 0, don't just assume they
meant SIGCHLD. In the Linux world, this appears to mean "don't deliver
an exit signal at all".
- Simplify P_EXITSIG(); don't check against initproc here, just change
the exit signal to SIGCHLD if reparenting to initproc.
A very simple clone(2) test program now works, and the MpegTV package
starts, but doesn't run properly yet (I believe there is a separate
bug which keeps it from working properly).
