3a8bec33ef Fix handling of IOCTLs in the LinuxKPI.
Linux requires that all IOCTL data resides in userspace. FreeBSD
always moves the main IOCTL structure into a kernel buffer before
invoking the IOCTL handler and then copies it back into userspace,
before returning. Hide this difference in the "linux_copyin()" and
"linux_copyout()" functions by remapping userspace addresses in the
range from 0x10000 to 0x20000, to the kernel IOCTL data buffer.

It is assumed that the userspace code, data and stack segments starts
no lower than memory address 0x400000, which is also stated by "man 1
ld", which means any valid userspace pointer can be passed to regular
LinuxKPI handled IOCTLs.

Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all kernel modules.

8d59ecb214 Finish process of moving the LinuxKPI module into the default kernel build.
- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
  its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
  adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
  COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
  LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
  the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
  Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
