Passing an invalid pointer results in undefined behaviour.
The wrappers in libthr access some of the data pointed to by the arguments
in userland, so that an invalid pointer will cause a signal and not an
[EFAULT] error return.
Furthermore, if the [EFAULT] error occurs when the kernel is writing, it is
not a proper error in the sense that the call still commits (changing the
signal disposition or accepting the signal).

Append '__' prefix to the tag of struct oflock, and put it under BSD
namespace. Structure is needed both by libc and kernel, thus cannot be
hidden under #ifdef _KERNEL.
Move a set of non-standard F_* and O_* constants into BSD namespace.
SUSv4 explicitely allows implemenation to pollute F_* and O_* names
after fcntl.h is included, but it costs us nothing to adhere
to the specification if exact POSIX compliance level is requested by
user code.
Change some spaces after #define to tabs.

clock_gettime(2) functions if supported. The speedup seen in
microbenchmarks is in range 4x-7x depending on the hardware.
Only amd64 and i386 architectures are supported. Libc uses rdtsc and
kernel data to calculate current time, if enabled by kernel.
Hopefully, this code is going to migrate into vdso in some future.

First, extend the changes in r230782 to better handle the common case
of using NOREUSE with sequential reads. A NOREUSE file descriptor
will now track the last implicit DONTNEED request it made as a result
of a NOREUSE read. If a subsequent NOREUSE read is adjacent to the
previous range, it will apply the DONTNEED request to the entire range
of both the previous read and the current read. The effect is that
each read of a file accessed sequentially will apply the DONTNEED
request to the entire range that has been read. This allows NOREUSE
to properly handle misaligned reads by flushing each buffer to cache
once it has been completely read.
Second, apply the same changes made to read(2) by r230782 and this
change to writes. This provides much better performance in the
sequential write case as it allows writes to still be clustered. It
also provides much better performance for misaligned writes. It does
mean that NOREUSE will be generally ineffective for non-sequential
writes as the current implementation relies on a future NOREUSE
write's implicit DONTNEED request to flush the dirty buffer from the
current write.

The stat structures returned on pipes seems to contain all the
information required by POSIX. Especially the wording "and thus to a
pipe" makes little sense, because it seems to imply a certain
relationship between sockets and pipes that simply isn't there.

On FreeBSD, all processes have a process group, so it is impossible for
kill(2) to fail this way. POSIX also doesn't mention this error
condition.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.
I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.
