This is good enough to be able to run a RELENG_4 gdb binary against
a RELENG_4 application, along with various other tools (eg: 4.x gcore).
We use this at work.
ia32_reg.[ch]: handle the 32 bit register file format, used by ptrace,
procfs and core dumps.
procfs_*regs.c: vary the format of proc/XXX/*regs depending on the client
and target application.
procfs_map.c: Don't print a 64 bit value to 32 bit consumers, or their
sscanf fails. They expect an unsigned long.
imgact_elf.c: produce a valid 32 bit coredump for 32 bit apps.
sys_process.c: handle 32 bit consumers debugging 32 bit targets. Note
that 64 bit consumers can still debug 32 bit targets.
IA64 has got stubs for ia32_reg.c.
Known limitations: a 5.x/6.x gdb uses get/setcontext(), which isn't
implemented in the 32/64 wrapper yet. We also make a tiny patch to
gdb pacify it over conflicting formats of ld-elf.so.1.

ioctl numbers in backwards compatability mode. eg: an IOC_IN ioctl with
a size of zero. Traditionally this was what you did before IOC_VOID
existed, and we had some established users of this in the tree, namely
procfs. Certain 3rd party drivers with binary userland components also
have this too.
This is necessary to have 4.x and 5.x binaries use these ioctl's. We
found this at work when trying to run 4.x binaries.

Fix abbreviation for P_STOPPED_* etc flags, in original code they were
inconsistent and difficult to distinguish between them.

The ability to schedule multiple threads per process
(one one cpu) by making ALL system calls optionally asynchronous.
to come: ia64 and power-pc patches, patches for gdb, test program (in tools)

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
Discussed on: smp@
this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main
thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than
assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there
but remove all teh code that assumes that in preparation for the next commit
which will actually move it out.
