The reason why the old vDSOs were written in C using inline assembly was
purely because they were embedded in the C library directly as static
inline functions. This was practical during development, because it
meant you could invoke system calls without any library dependencies.
The vDSO was simply a copy of these functions.
Now that we require the use of the vDSO, there is no longer any need for
embedding them in C code directly. Rewriting them in assembly has the
advantage that they are closer to ideal (less useless branching, less
assumptions about registers remaining unclobbered by the kernel, etc).
They are also easier to build, as they no longer depend on the C type
information for CloudABI.

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.

While it shares some code with the existing driver this has been modified
to work better with the intrng framework.
This has been tested on the ThunderX servers in the netperf cluster and has

With this we can use intrng on all supported arm64 platforms I was able to

Import portions of the PowerPC OF PCI implementation into new file
"ofwpci.c", common for other platforms. The files ofw_pci.c and ofw_pci.h
from sys/powerpc/ofw no longer exist. All required declarations are moved
to sys/dev/ofw/ofwpci.h. This creates a new ofw_pci_write_ivar() function
and modifies some others methods. Most functions contain existing ppc
implementations in the majority unchanged. Now there is no need to have
multiple identical copies of methods for various architectures.

It turns out that it is pretty easy to make CloudABI work on ARM64. We
essentially only need to copy over the sysvec from AMD64 and ensure that
we use ARM64 specific registers.
As there is an overlap between function argument and return registers,
we do need to extend cloudabi64_schedtail() to only set its values if
we're actually forking. Not when we're creating a new thread.
