load_gs() calls into a single place that is less likely to go wrong.
Eliminate the per-process context switching of MSR_GSBASE, because it
should be constant for a single cpu. Instead, save/restore it during
the loading of the new %gs selector for the new process.

has requested the lock in a non-blocking form, instead returning an
immediate failure. This appears to help reduce one of my "locks get
lost" symptoms involving lockf(1), which attempts a non-blocking lock
attempt before actually blocking on the lock. At this point the client
still gets back EACCES, which is an issue we're still working.

from the NFS server, following contention on a lock by this or another
client, immediately notify the waiting process that the lock has been
granted via a wakeup. Without this change, the client rpc.lockd will
not wakeup the waiting process until it next re-polls the lock (sometime
in the next ten seconds), which can lead to marked latency across all
potential lockers, as the lock is held by the client for the duration.

stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls. It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4. The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.
Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place. But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.
On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure. The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting. The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes. This still needs
to be optimized.

- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.
