MFC r205014,205015:

Provide groundwork for 32-bit binary compatibility on non-x86 platforms,
for upcoming 64-bit PowerPC and MIPS support. This renames the COMPAT_IA32
option to COMPAT_FREEBSD32, removes some IA32-specific code from MI parts
of the kernel and enhances the freebsd32 compatibility code to support
big-endian platforms.

This MFC is required for MFCs of later changes to the freebsd32
compatibility from HEAD.

MFC x86emu/x86bios emulator and make previously i386 only dpms and vesa
framebuffer driver, etc. work on FreeBSD/amd64.

A significant amount of improvements were done by jkim@ during the recent
months to make vesa(4) work better, over the initial code import. This
work is based on OpenBSD's x86emu implementation and contributed by
paradox <ddkprog yahoo com> and swell.k at gmail com.

Hopefully I have stolen all their work to 8-STABLE :)

All bugs in this commit are mine, as usual.

MFC r197518:

lindev(4) [1] is supposed to be a collection of linux-specific pseudo
devices that we also support, just not by default (thus only LINT or

While currently there is only "/dev/full" [2], we are planning to see more
in the future. We may decide to change the module/dependency logic in the
future should the list grow too long.

This is not part of linux.ko as also non-linux binaries like kFreeBSD
userland or ports can make use of this as well.

amdsbwd: new driver for AMD SB600/SB7xx watchdog timer

The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally
considered including generic WDRT watchdog support, but decided
against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
approach.
