841c0c7ec7 Provide groundwork for 32-bit binary compatibility on non-x86 platforms,
for upcoming 64-bit PowerPC and MIPS support. This renames the COMPAT_IA32
option to COMPAT_FREEBSD32, removes some IA32-specific code from MI parts
of the kernel and enhances the freebsd32 compatibility code to support
big-endian platforms.

62919d788b Jumbo-commit to enhance 32 bit application support on 64 bit kernels.
This is good enough to be able to run a RELENG_4 gdb binary against
a RELENG_4 application, along with various other tools (eg: 4.x gcore).
We use this at work.

ia32_reg.[ch]: handle the 32 bit register file format, used by ptrace,
	procfs and core dumps.
procfs_*regs.c: vary the format of proc/XXX/*regs depending on the client
	and target application.
procfs_map.c: Don't print a 64 bit value to 32 bit consumers, or their
	sscanf fails.  They expect an unsigned long.
imgact_elf.c: produce a valid 32 bit coredump for 32 bit apps.
sys_process.c: handle 32 bit consumers debugging 32 bit targets.  Note
	that 64 bit consumers can still debug 32 bit targets.

IA64 has got stubs for ia32_reg.c.

Known limitations: a 5.x/6.x gdb uses get/setcontext(), which isn't
implemented in the 32/64 wrapper yet.  We also make a tiny patch to
gdb pacify it over conflicting formats of ld-elf.so.1.
