Linux module parameters have a permissions value. If any write bits
are set we are allowed to modify the module parameter runtime. Reflect
this when creating the static SYSCTL nodes.

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.

stack to receive prints during a panic.

streamline the rest of the xxx_to_jiffies() functions to have a
constant 64-bit argument and use identical range checks for the
result.
Specifically preserve msecs_to_jiffies(0) returning 0. See r282743 for
further details.

Linux requires that all IOCTL data resides in userspace. FreeBSD
always moves the main IOCTL structure into a kernel buffer before
invoking the IOCTL handler and then copies it back into userspace,
before returning. Hide this difference in the "linux_copyin()" and
"linux_copyout()" functions by remapping userspace addresses in the
range from 0x10000 to 0x20000, to the kernel IOCTL data buffer.
It is assumed that the userspace code, data and stack segments starts
no lower than memory address 0x400000, which is also stated by "man 1
ld", which means any valid userspace pointer can be passed to regular
LinuxKPI handled IOCTLs.

and thread ID for example.

This is kinda critical to the performance when the CPU is slow and
network bandwidth is high, e.g. in the hypervisor.

- Add some new hlist macros.
- Update existing hlist macros removing the need for a temporary
iteration variable.
- Properly define the RCU hlist macros to be SMP safe with regard
to RCU.
- Safe list macro arguments by adding a pair of parentheses.
- Prefix the _list_add() and _list_splice() functions with "linux"
to reflect they are LinuxKPI internal functions.
