This change refactors the existing create_thread() function to be more
generic. It replaces almost all of its arguments by a callback that can
be used to extract the thread ID and copy it out to the right place, but
also to perform additional initialization steps, such as setting the
trapframe. This also makes the difference between thr_new() and
thr_create() more clear in my opinion.
This function is going to be used by the CloudABI compatibility layer.

Summary:
For CloudABI we need to put two things on the stack of new processes:
the argument data (a binary blob; not strings) and a startup data
structure. The startup data structure contains interesting things such
as a pointer to the ELF program header, the thread ID of the initial
thread, a stack smashing protection canary, and a pointer to the
argument data.
Fetching system call arguments and setting the return value is similar
to FreeBSD. The only differences are that system call 0 does not exist
and that we call into cloudabi_convert_errno() to convert the error
code. We also need this function in a couple of other places, so we'd
better reuse it here.

1) Use the TX FIFO empty interrupts to poll the transmit FIFO usage,
instead of using own software counters and waiting for SOF
interrupts. Assume that enough FIFO space is available to execute one
USB OUT transfer of any kind when the TX FIFO is empty.
2) Use the host channel halted event to asynchronously wait for host
channels to be disabled instead of waiting for SOF interrupts. This
results in less turnaround time for re-using host channels and at the
same time increases the performance.
The network transmit performance measured by "iperf" for the "RPi-B v1
2011/12" board, increased from 45MBit/s to 65Mbit/s after applying the

Summary:
In a runtime that is purely based on capability-based security, there is
a strong emphasis on how programs start their execution. We need to make
sure that we execute an new program with an exact set of file
descriptors, ensuring that credentials are not leaked into the process
accidentally.
Providing the right file descriptors is just half the problem. There
also needs to be a framework in place that gives meaning to these file
descriptors. How does a CloudABI mail server know which of the file
descriptors corresponds to the socket that receives incoming emails?
Furthermore, how will this mail server acquire its configuration
parameters, as it cannot open a configuration file from a global path on
disk?
CloudABI solves this problem by replacing traditional string command
line arguments by tree-like data structure consisting of scalars,
sequences and mappings (similar to YAML/JSON). In this structure, file
descriptors are treated as a first-class citizen. When calling exec(),
file descriptors are passed on to the new executable if and only if they
are referenced from this tree structure. See the cloudabi-run(1) man
page for more details and examples (sysutils/cloudabi-utils).
Fortunately, the kernel does not need to care about this tree structure
at all. The C library is responsible for serializing and deserializing,
but also for extracting the list of referenced file descriptors. The
system call only receives a copy of the serialized data and a layout of
what the new file descriptor table should look like:
int proc_exec(int execfd, const void *data, size_t datalen, const int *fds,
size_t fdslen);
This change introduces a set of fd*_remapped() functions:
- fdcopy_remapped() pulls a copy of a file descriptor table, remapping
all of the file descriptors according to the provided mapping table.
- fdinstall_remapped() replaces the file descriptor table of the process
by the copy created by fdcopy_remapped().
- fdescfree_remapped() frees the table in case we aborted before
fdinstall_remapped().
We then add a function exec_copyin_data_fds() that builds on top these
functions. It copies in the data and constructs a new remapped file
descriptor. This is used by cloudabi_sys_proc_exec().
Test Plan:
cloudabi-run(1) is capable of spawning processes successfully, providing
it data and file descriptors. procstat -f seems to confirm all is good.
Regular FreeBSD processes also work properly.
