pwrite(2) syscalls are wrapped to provide compatibility with pre-7.x
kernels which required padding before the off_t parameter. The
fcntl(2) contains compatibility code to handle kernels before the
struct flock was changed during the 8.x CURRENT development. The
shims were reasonable to allow easier revert to the older kernel at
that time.
Now, two or three major releases later, shims do not serve any
purpose. Such old kernels cannot handle current libc, so revert the
compatibility code.
Make padded syscalls support conditional under the COMPAT6 config
option. For COMPAT32, the syscalls were under COMPAT6 already.
Remove WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT build option, which only purpose was to
(partially) disable the removed shims.

but use normal references instead of weak. This makes the statically
linked binaries to use fast gettimeofday(2) by forcing the linker to
resolve references and providing the neccessary functions.

Looking at our source code history, it seems the uname(),
getdomainname() and setdomainname() system calls got deprecated
somewhere after FreeBSD 1.1, but they have never been phased out
properly. Because we don't have a COMPAT_FREEBSD1, just use
COMPAT_FREEBSD4.
Also fix the Linuxolator to build without the setdomainname() routine by
just making it call userland_sysctl on kern.domainname. Also replace the
setdomainname()'s implementation to use this approach, because we're
duplicating code with sysctl_domainname().
I wasn't able to keep these three routines working in our
COMPAT_FREEBSD32, because that would require yet another keyword for
syscalls.master (COMPAT4+NOPROTO). Because this routine is probably
unused already, this won't be a problem in practice. If it turns out to
be a problem, we'll just restore this functionality.

syscalls, unless WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT is defined. The default case
will have the .c wrappers still. If you define WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT,
the .c wrappers will go away and libc will make direct syscalls.
After 7-stable starts, the direct syscall method will be default.

- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
linking to this API (suggested by mux)
- Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
- Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
to express their intention explicitly.
- Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
- The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
- Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly
(tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).
