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.
*_emul_path variables
change macros CHECK_ALT_{CREAT|EXIST} to use that, 'root' doesn't need
to be passed explicitly any more and *_CHECK_ALT_{CREAT|EXIST} are removed
change explicit emul_find() calls in probe functions to get the emulation
path from the checked exec switch entry's emulation
remove no longer needed header files
add e_flags and e_syscall to struct emul; these are unsed and empty for now
* Remove the casts to vaddr_t from the round_page() and trunc_page() macros to
make them type-generic, which is necessary i.e. to operate on file offsets
without truncating them.
* In due course, cast pointer arguments to these macros to an appropriate
integral type (paddr_t, vaddr_t).

count is 0, wait for use count to drain before finishing the close.
This is necessary in order for multiple processes to safely share file
descriptor tables.
the individual emulated readdirs must check.
Since netbsd and freebsd return EINVAL for the error
and I don't know what the other platforms do, return
EINVAL for them too.
in 32 bits. Provide an error message to the user, and return EINVAL.
Also, pay attention to the EOF flag from VOP_READDIR. Correct a
misspell in a panic message.
directory and running out of space in the dest buffer, off should point to the
current entry (which was not saved) and not to the next.
I discovered this bug using linux and SunOS emulation over NFS, but seems to
affect other emulations as well.
sys_execve() without doing an alternate patch check, which was
incorrect. Bug pointed out by Krister Walfridsson <cato@df.lth.se>
on port-sparc@NetBSD.ORG.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
