proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
Attempt to fix all the code paths so that the 'fp' returned by fd_getfile()
isn't left locked, and is always unlocked (and ref-counted) before
doing anything that might sleep.

Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).

which can either be copied directly to userspace, or converted then copied.
Saves replicating a lot of code in the compat functions (esp. for
getvfsstat) at a cast of an extra function call in the non-emulated case -
which is unlikely to be measurable given the other costs of the actions
involved (even on vax).
Remove dofhstat() and dofhstatvfs() (and the last caller).
Remove some redundant stackgap_init() calls.
avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
pointers to and from 64bit kernel pointers. Instead use the defines
NETBSD32PTR64(p32) to read a 32bit pointer and (the new) NETBSD32PTR32(p32,p64)
to write a 32bit pointer throughout.
The 32bit pointer is now a struct to enforce the above.
amd64 (with linux emul) and sparc64 will both compile (when the arch stuff
goes in soon), and amd64 still runs some i386 binaries.
sys_stat() and friends, instead use do_sys_stat() and do_sys_fstat()
that write the answer into a kernel buffer (on stack) that can be
converted to the correct form and written the userspace.
I've test compiled a few kernels, and tested i386 netbsd1.6 ls.
Given I think I've fixed some bugs, it might be 50-50 with new ones.
- remove the support of variable-sized filehandle from compat version of
syscalls. (strictly speaking, it breaks abi. i don't think it's a problem
because this feature is short-lived and there are no affected in-tree
filesystems.)
- unify vfs_copyinfh_alloc and vfs_copyinfh_alloc_size.
- vfs_copyinfh_alloc_size: check fhsize strictly.
- reduce code duplication between compat and current syscalls.
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.

"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.

instead of using u_int32_t everywhere,
- The MD netbsd32_machdep.h header now defines a macro (at least on

between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.

consistent with rest of fileops routines and also makes the fo_stat
match FreeBSD as an added bonus.
