Use the fields in the sysentvec and in the vm map header in place of the
constants VM_MIN_ADDRESS, VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS, USRSTACK and PS_STRINGS.
This is mainly so that they can be variable even for the native abi, based
on different machine types. Get stack protections from the sysentvec too.
This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on
machines that support it.

- Replace v_flag with v_iflag and v_vflag
- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

Infrastructure tweaks to allow having both an Elf32 and an Elf64 executable
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.

Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

Obtained from: dfr (mostly, many tweaks from me).

Fix #! script exec under linux emulation. If a script is exec'd from a
program running under linux emulation, the script binary is checked for
in /compat/linux first. Without this patch the wrong script binary
(i.e. the FreeBSD binary) will be run instead of the linux binary.
For example, #!/bin/sh, thus breaking out of linux compatibility mode.

This solves a number of problems people have had installing linux
software on FreeBSD boxes.

Implement pluggable ioctl handlers.

Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio

All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.

While there, cleanup linux.h some more.

linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.

Use [u]intptr_t instead of [u_]long for casts between pointers and
integers. Don't forget to cast to (void *) as well.

Fixed print format errors.

De-staticize enough to make all the LKMs work again. Add comments where
deemed relevant.

Staticize.

Don't include <sys/lock.h> in headers when only `struct simplelock' is
required. Fixed everything that depended on the pollution.

Removed unused #includes.

Fixed data+bss limit (use the current rlimit instead of MAXDSIZ).

Fix the case where a thread does an exec. It is almost nonsense for a thread
to modify the other threads address space by an exec, so we
now automatically divorce the address space before modifying it.
