This areas is called the comm pages. It is used to provide fast access to
several data and functions.
The comm pages are mapped starting at 0xffff800 (address chosed so that
absolute branch can be used, so it can be accessed even when dynamic linking
is not ready). NetBSD has the user stack here, so we need to provide a
Darwin-specific stack setup routine which sets the top of the stack at
0xbfff0000.
This implementation is not complete but it does enough to get MacOS X.3
starting again (static binaries run, dynamic binaries still have an issue).
in the comm pages functions, we only implement bcopy, pthread_self and
memcpy.
TODO:
- clean up the powerpc specific code from MD parts
- for now we map only one page to avoid a crash, we want two pages.
- write all the comm functions.

native version does non executable mappings on the stack. This is a
showstopper for Linux binaries.
To fix that we supply a copy f the native stack setup function for Linux
binaries, with the executable bit set.
otherwise, linux_syscall() returns garbage, at least on i386.
(it returns native_to_linux_errno[EPASSTHROUGH] where EPASSTHROUGH == -4.)
i choose EINVAL rather than ENOTTY, because linux's pipe returns it
and i think that it's a common case.
- Not enabled by default. Needs kernel option FFS_SNAPSHOT.
- Change parameters of ffs_blkfree.
- Let the copy-on-write functions return an error so spec_strategy
may fail if the copy-on-write fails.
- Change genfs_*lock*() to use vp->v_vnlock instead of &vp->v_lock.
- Add flag B_METAONLY to VOP_BALLOC to return indirect block buffer.
- Add a function ffs_checkfreefile needed for snapshot creation.
- Add special handling of snapshot files:
Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.
Use the mtime as the time this snapshot was taken.
Deny mtime updates for snapshot files.
- Add function transferlockers to transfer any waiting processes from
one lock to another.
- Add vfsop VFS_SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot and make it accessible through
a vnode.
- Add snapshot support to ls, fsck_ffs and dump.

Add a new explicit `struct proc *p' argument to socreate(), sosend().
Use that argument instead of curproc. Follow-on changes to pass that
argument to socreate(), sosend(), and (*so->so_send)() calls.
These changes reviewed and independently recoded by Matt Thomas.
Changes to soreceive() and (*dom->dom_exernalize() from Matt Thomas:
pass soreceive()'s struct uio* uio->uio_procp to unp_externalize().
Eliminate curproc from unp_externalize. Also, now soreceive() uses
its uio->uio_procp value, pass that same value downward to
((pr->pru_usrreq)() calls for consistency, instead of (struct proc * )0.
Similar changes in sys/nfs to eliminate (most) uses of curproc,
either via the req-> r_procp field of a struct nfsreq *req argument,
or by passing down new explicit struct proc * arguments.
Reviewed by: Matt Thomas, posted to tech-kern.
NB: The (*pr->pru_usrreq)() change should be tested on more (all!) protocols.
and tweak lkminit_*.c (where applicable) to call them, and to call
sysctl_teardown() when being unloaded.
This consists of (1) making setup functions not be static when being
compiled as lkms (change to sys/sysctl.h), (2) making prototypes
visible for the various setup functions in header files (changes to
various header files), and (3) making simple "load" and "unload"
functions in the actual lkminit stuff.
linux_sysctl.c also needs its root exposed (ie, made not static) for
this (when built as an lkm).
