This work was initially started and completed for Google SoC 2005
and tweaked to work a bit better in the past few weeks. While
being far from complete, it is functional enough to be able and
stable to host a fairly general-purpose in-memory file system in
userspace. Even so, puffs should be considered experimental and
no binary compatibility for interfaces or crash-freedom or zero
security implications should be relied upon just yet.
The GSoC project was mentored by William Studenmund and the final
review for the code was done by Christos.
It contains the VFS attachment and userspace message-passing interface.

This works around the problems observed on sparc and sparc64 (where
we've disabled use of pthreads) where the BIND applications end up
being killed with SIGTERM instead of exiting gracefully.
pool_get(). pre-allocate the ksiginfo_t before taking sched_lock and
use it if necessary, or freeing it if it is unused.
rename ksiginfo_{get,put}() to ksiginfo_{dequeue,queue}() (idea from chuq.)
this fixes PR#32962. thanks to christos, chuq and go for help/ideas.

While there, add a few other Intel Ethernet controller that should work
as is.
Properly update the RX error and TX collision counters.
