History: This cleans up another long standing inconsistency where timerblurb for delay() was
calibrated against the stat timer instead the clock timer. Before timecounters
this didn't matter at al as both timer run with the same frequency and the
calibration was a frequency based calibration.

Fix from martin@
This is SA2006-019 (CVE-2006-4304)
Members of the thread group must die without reporting to the parent and
without going to zombie stage. We do that by reparenting to init before
catching a SIGKILL. The parent will not see the child death.
The thread group leader must report the exit status, even if it exits
because of another thread calling exit_group(). We do that by storing the
exit status in struct linux_emuldata_shared, and the exit hook has the
duty of setting struct proc's p_xstat for the thread group leader.
2) For exit/fork/exec hooks, move the NPTL specific code to separate functions
that are shared between COMPAT_LINUX and COMPAT_LINUX32
3) Fix LINUX_CLONE_PARENT_SETTID semantics
that callers are not responsible for initializing the fields. Store the name
inside the struct instead of maintaining a pointer to external storage, or
leaked memory (nfs case).
Place the securelevel checks in their logical locations.
This will be clearer in the future when code changes to use kauth(9) calls.

the pmap layer is initialized.
