a follow on commit to kern_sig.c
- signotify() now operates on a thread since unmasked pending signals are
stored in the thread.
- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.
_KERNEL scope from "src/sys/sys/mchain.h".
Replace each occurrence of the above in _KERNEL scope with the
appropriate macro from the set of hto(be|le)(16|32|64) and
(be|le)toh(16|32|64) from "src/sys/sys/endian.h".

doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb.
This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.
