A set of helper functions have been added to manage the life of the
LinuxKPI task struct. When an external system call or task is invoked,
a check is made to create the task struct by demand. A thread
destructor callback is registered to free the task struct when a
thread exits to avoid memory leaks.
This change lays the ground for emulating the Linux kernel more
closely which is a dependency by the code using the LinuxKPI APIs.
Add new dedicated td_lkpi_task field has been added to struct thread
instead of abusing td_retval[1].
Fix some header file inclusions to make LINT kernel build properly
after this change.
Bump the __FreeBSD_version to force a rebuild of all kernel modules.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
