- Remove setrunqueue and replace it with direct calls to sched_add().
setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state
setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was
chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons.
- Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be
different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place
each.
- Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code.
- Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly.
- Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to
support a feature in one scheduler.
- Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also,
rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the
logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c
mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched.

Discussed with: julian

- Move the idle thread loop into the per scheduler area. ULE wants to
do something different from the other schedulers.

Dont expose em via p->p_emuldata until its properly initialized.
This also enables us to get rid of some locking and simplify the
code because we are workin on a local copy.

In linux_fork and linux_vfork create the process in stopped state
to be sure that the new process runs with fully initialized emuldata
structure [1]. Also fix the vfork (both in linux_clone and linux_vfork)
race that could result in never woken up process [2].

Fix video playing and network connections in realplayer (and most likely
other stuff) in the osrelease=2.6.16 case:
- implement CLONE_PARENT semantic
- fix TLS loading in clone CLONE_SETTLS
- lock proc in the currently disabled part of CLONE_THREAD

I suggest to not unload the linux module after testing this, there are
some "<defunct>" processes hanging around after exiting (they aren't
with osrelease=2.4.2) and they may panic your kernel when unloading the
linux module. They are in state Z and some of them consume CPU according
to ps. But I don't trust the CPU part, the idle threads gets too much CPU
that this may be possible (accumulating idle, X and 2 defunct processes
results in 104.7%, this looks to much to be a rounding error).

Add the linux 2.6.x stuff (not used by default!):
- TLS - complete
- pid/tid mangling - complete
- thread area - complete
- futexes - complete with issues
- clone() extension - complete with some possible minor issues
- mq*/timer*/clock* stuff - complete but untested and the mq* stuff is
disabled when not build as part of the kernel with native FreeBSD mq*
support (module support for this will come later)

Tested with:
- linux-firefox - works, tested
- linux-opera - works, tested
- linux-realplay - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-skype - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-rt2-demo - works, tested
- linux-acroread - doesnt work, unknown reason (coredump) and sometimes
issue with futexes
- various unix utilities in linux-base-gentoo3 and linux-base-fc4:
everything tried worked

On amd64 not everything is supported like on i386, the catchup is planned for
later when the remaining bugs in the new functions are fixed.

To test this new stuff, you have to run
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
to switch back use
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2

Don't switch while running a linux program, strange things may or may not
happen.

In linux emulation layer try to detect attempt to use linux_clone() to
create kernel threads and call rfork(2) with RFTHREAD flag set in this case,
which puts parent and child into the same threading group. As a result
all threads that belong to the same program end up in the same threading
group.

This is similar to what linuxthreads port does, though in this case we don't
have a luxury of having access to the source code and there is no definite
way to differentiate linux_clone() called for threading purposes from other
uses, so that we have to resort to heuristics.

Allow SIGTHR to be delivered between all processes in the same threading
group previously it has been blocked for s[ug]id processes.

This also should improve locking of the same file descriptor from different
threads in programs running under linux compat layer.
