Major changes may still happen in order to properly support other ATAPI
tape drives.
on all platforms but the i386. On the i386 we look at T_PROTFLT and send
a SIGSEGV instead of SIGBUS. This makes allegro lisp 5.0 and pvs (a proof
verification system) to work.
XXX[1]: We need to go through each architecture and verify that we send
the correct signal on each trap type.
XXX[2]: trap.c on all other architectures but i386 needs to be modified
to s/trapsignal/(*p->p_emul->e_trapsignal)/g
trap/interrupt/syscall entry from userspace.
Remove special-case "by hand" validation of fs/gs register values as
well as special handling of them in various signal handling paths.
Now, like %ds and %es, they are validated by the hardware on return to
userland.
This paves the way for the use of %fs for per-cpu data on
multiprocessor systems, and fixes an otherwise difficult-to-fix
interaction between threads/clone(2) and USER_LDT.
Discussed in advance with Frank van der Linden.
* Really pass PSR ICC bits instead of raw CCR.
* Don't touch ASI and FPRS, which are not part of the 32-bit mcontext.
Also, correct printf conversions in svr4_printmcontext.
Async I/O OS specifities should now handled in OS specific code. Linux
has been done, but other emulation should be handled. See case LINUX_F_SETFL
in sys/compat/linux/common/linux_file.c:linux_sys_fcntl() for more details.
The data that has been collected yet:

neither it does send any SIGIO for pipes. If async I/O
was requested, we keep the SS_ASYNC in struct socket flag
set, but we clear SB_ASYNC flags on the sending buffer
(for socket), and on the sending and the receiving buffer
(for pipes).
Because we do not alter to SS_ASYNC in struct socket,
the Linux process keeps a consistent view of async I/O
status if it attemps to read the async flag (SS_ASYNC)
This async I/O problem does matters, since some Linux
a programs such as the JDK request async I/O on pipes,
but they fail if they happen to get a SIGIO to the write
end of the pipe.
struct socket so_state field to decide if we need to send asynchronous
notifications. This makes possible to request notification on write but
not on read, and vice versa.
This is used in Linux emulation code, because when async I/O is requested,
Linux does not send SIGIO to write end of sockets, and it never send any
SIGIO to any end of pipes. Il Linux emulation code, we then set SB_ASYNC
only on the read end of sockets, and on no end for pipes.
