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.
The 64bit linux emulation versions can't be used because the lock structure
alignment and field sizes all differ.
Since there need to be 4 different versions of the linux struct flock, and
amd64 kernel needs 3 of them compiled in, rather than replicating the same
code block twice more, move the body of the code into a few #defines
that can be expanded with the correct types in the linux[32]_sys_fcntl[64]()
functions.
Should fix problems running progams like skype running under linux32
emulation on amd64.
- Move uid16 functions to their own file linux_uid16.c, included by
needed archs (arm, i386 and m68k).
- Add new MI types linux_{u,g}id16_t.
- Add macros to handle linux_uid16_t and uid_t conversions.
- Add linux_sys_getres{uid,gid}16 syscalls, to fix an overflow with
bad sizes given to copyout when linux_sys_getres{uid,gid} are used.
- Update arm syscall table to use more uid16 functions.

int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
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).
98% done by automated scripts.
The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
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.
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.
was "correct" by luck - we don't have any other file type whose S_IF* bits
in sys/stat.h overlap with S_IFIFO.

the passed device number to only contain lower 16 bits; older glibc

Problem initially analyzed by Thor Lancelot Simon.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
(revisions 1.47 & 1.48 effectively backed off):
* for all but vnodes, just fallback to sys_fcntl(); assumming
state of support for F_SETOWN/F_GETOWN and even hardcoding it here is
not right (e.g. rev. 1.47 had this incorrect for DTYPE_PIPE)
* fallback to sys_fcntl() also for vnodes which don't represent tty
* don't need to use FILE_{,UN}USE() here, the code won't block while
using the pointer
* add/fix some comments
