downward growing stacks more general.
Add (but don't activate) code to use the new stack facility
when running threads, (specifically the linux threads support).
This allows people to use both linux compiled linuxthreads, and also the
native FreeBSD linux-threads port.
The code is conditional on VM_STACK. Not using this will
produce the old heavily tested system.

* Move the user stack from VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS to a place below the 32bit
boundary (needed to support 32bit OSF programs). This should also save
one pagetable per process.
* Add cvtqlsv to the set of instructions handled by the floating point
software completion code.
* Disable all floating point exceptions by default.
* A minor change to execve to allow the OSF1 image activator to support
dynamic loading.
last cleanup. Since the oid_arg2 field of struct sysctl_oid is not wide
enough to hold a long, the SYSCTL_LONG() macro has been modified to only
support exporting long variables by pointer instead of by value.

- created internal names for fixed-size integral types, like __int32_t. They
will be used to make several headers self-sufficient.
- <stdlib.h> don't include <machine/types.h> anymore.
- created <sys/inttypes.h>, which can be used as <inttypes.h>.
- declaration of uoff_t and ufs_daddr_t moved to <sys/types.h>.

adjusted related casts to match (only in the kernel in this commit).
The pointer was only wanted in one place in kern_exec.c. Applications
should use the kern.ps_strings sysctl instead of PS_STRINGS, so they
shouldn't notice this change.
that the generated files are generated before any of the object files.
Also minor cleanup of dependencies in conf/files that I bogusly added
before.
This should fix the requirement that make depend be done starting from
a clean config directory. If you don't have a clean directory, make
depend is still required if you want the proper .o's to be recompiled.

for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

alpha, operations involving non-finite numbers or denormalised numbers
or operations which should generate such numbers will cause an arithmetic
exception. For programs which follow some strict code generation rules,
the kernel trap handler can then 'complete' the operation by emulating
the faulting instruction.
To use software completion, a program must be compiled with the arguments
'-mtrap-precision=i' and '-mfp-trap-mode=su' or '-mfp-trap-mode=sui'.
Programs compiled in this way can use non-finite and denormalised numbers
at the expense of slightly less efficient code generation of floating
point instructions. Programs not compiled with these options will receive
a SIGFPE signal when non-finite or denormalised numbers are used or
generated.

* Update drivers to the latest version of the bus interface.
The ISA drivers' use of the new resource api is minimal. Garrett has
some much cleaner drivers which should be more easily shared between
i386 and alpha. This has only been tested on cia based machines. It
should work on lca and apecs but I might have broken something.

* Change the calling convention of the device mmap entry point to
pass a vm_offset_t instead of an int for the offset allowing
devices with a larger memory map than (1<<32) to be supported
on the alpha (/dev/mem is one such).
These changes are required to allow the X server to mmap the various
I/O regions used for device port and memory access on the alpha.
