- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

discussed in the PR.
- introduce sys/timevar.h to hold kernel-specific stuff relevant to
sys/time.h. Ideally, timevar.h would contain all (or almost) of the
#ifdef _KERNEL part of time.h, but that's a pretty big and tedious
change to make. For now, it will contain only the prototypes I
introduced when working on COMPAT_NETBSD32.
- split copyinout_t into copyin_t and copyout_t, it makes prototypes more
explicit about the meaning of a given argument. Suggested by yamt@.
- move copyinout_t definition in sys/time.h to systm.h as copyin_t and
copyout_t
- make everything uses the new types and include the proper headers at
the proper places.
relevant code with the COMPAT_NETBSD32 version, and make the latter use
the new functions.
This fixes netbsd32_setitimer() which had drifted from the native syscall
and did not work properly anymore.
do { ... } while(/*CONSTCOND*/0)
so that they can be used unadorned in if/else blocks, etc. This means
that you now *have* to put a ; at the end of the "call" to these
macros.
- The MD netbsd32_machdep.h header now defines the 32-bit pointer type
instead of using u_int32_t everywhere,
- The MD netbsd32_machdep.h header now defines a macro (at least on
current implementations) which converts a 32-bit pointer to its 64-bit
equivalent,
- Change the MI code to utilise the above two items in all the right places,
- Implement netbsd32___sigaction_sigtramp().
Tested on Sparc64 by Matt Green.
