Make the kern_fsync() function public, so that it can be used by other
parts of the kernel. Fix up existing consumers to make use of it.

The syscall is a trivial wrapper around new VOP_FDATASYNC(), sharing
code with fsync(2). For all filesystems, this commit provides the
implementation which delegates the work of VOP_FDATASYNC() to
VOP_FSYNC(). This is functionally correct but not efficient.
This is not yet POSIX-compliant implementation, because it does not
ensure that queued AIO requests are completed before returning.

CloudABI executables already provide support for passing in vDSOs. This
functionality is used by the emulator for OS X to inject system call
handlers. On FreeBSD, we could use it to optimize calls to
gettimeofday(), etc.
Though I don't have any plans to optimize any system calls right now,
let's go ahead and already pass in a vDSO. This will allow us to
simplify the executables, as the traditional "syscall" shims can be
removed entirely. It also means that we gain more flexibility with
regards to adding and removing system calls.

Our mprotect() function seems to take a "const void *" address to the
pages whose permissions need to be adjusted. POSIX uses "void *". Simply
stick to the POSIX one to prevent us from writing unportable code.

and getboottimebin(9) KPI. Change consumers of boottime to use the
KPI. The variables were renamed to avoid shadowing issues with local
variables of the same name.
Issue is that boottime* should be adjusted from tc_windup(), which
requires them to be members of the timehands structure. As a
preparation, this commit only introduces the interface.
Some uses of boottime were found doubtful, e.g. NLM uses boottime to
identify the system boot instance. Arguably the identity should not
change on the leap second adjustment, but the commit is about the
timekeeping code and the consumers were kept bug-to-bug compatible.

It looks like our "struct shmid_ds::shm_nattch" deviates from the
standard in the sense that it is a signed integer, whereas POSIX
requires that it is unsigned, having a special type shmatt_t.
Patch up our native and 32-bit copies to use a new shmatt_t that is an
unsigned integer. As it's unsigned, we can relax the comparisons that
are performed on it. Leave the Linux, iBCS2, etc. copies of the
structure alone.

FreeBSD support NX bit on X86_64 processors out of the box, for i386 emulation
use READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag, introduced in r302515.
While here move common part of mmap() and mprotect() code to the files in compat/linux

In Linux if this flag is set, PROT_READ implies PROT_EXEC for mmap().
Linux/i386 set this flag automatically if the binary requires executable stack.
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag will be used in the next Linux mmap() commit.
[1] Remove unneeded sockaddr conversion before kern_recvit() call as the from
argument is used to record result (the source address of the received message) only.
[2] In Linux the type of msg_namelen member of struct msghdr is signed but native
msg_namelen has a unsigned type (socklen_t). So use the proper storage to fetch fromlen
from userspace and than check the user supplied value and return EINVAL if it is less
than 0 as a Linux do.

Bool module parameters are no longer supported, because there is no
equivalent in FreeBSD.
There are two macros available which control the behaviour of the
LinuxKPI module parameters:
- LINUXKPI_PARAM_PARENT allows the consumer to set the SYSCTL parent
where the modules parameters will be created.
- LINUXKPI_PARAM_PREFIX defines a parameter name prefix, which is
added to all created module parameters.
