Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

o Introduce private types for use in linux syscalls for two reasons:
1. establish type independence for ease in porting and,
2. provide a visual queue as to which syscalls have proper
prototypes to further cleanup the i386/alpha split.
Linuxulator types are prefixed by 'l_'. void and char have not
been "virtualized".
o Provide dummy functions for all syscalls and remove dummy functions
or implementations of truely obsolete syscalls.
o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this
time it only returns one MIB (KERN_VERSION), but most importantly,
it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the
KERN_VERSION MIB, BTW).
o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our
syscall table is now up to date with Linux 2.4.2. Some highlights:
- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.
o Fix or improve numerous syscalls and prototypes.
o Reduce style(9) violations while I'm here. Especially indentation
inconsistencies within the same file are addressed. Re-indenting
did not obfuscate actual changes to the extend that it could not
be combined.
NOTE: I spend some time testing these changes and found that if there
were regressions, they were not caused by these changes AFAICT.
It was observed that installing a RH 7.1 runtime environment
did make matters worse. Hangs and/or reboots have been observed
with and without these changes, so when it failed to make life
better in cases it doesn't look like it made it worse.
