o Clean up <machine/endian.h> files.
o Remove unused __uint16_swap_uint32() from i386's <machine/endian.h>.
o Remove prototypes for non-existent bswapXX() functions.
o Include <machine/endian.h> in <arpa/inet.h> to define the
POSIX-required ntohl() family of functions.
o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,
and <sys/param.h>.
o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>.
o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

- Renumber labels since the previous revision removed one.
- Remove useless and wrong comment.
- Repeating the function name is just redundant.
- The previous revision made the comment about %edx useless.
- The comment about %eax was wrong (but did explain why %eax used to be

and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:
__sys_foo - actual syscall
foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo
Change PSEUDO syscalls (currently only _exit and _getlogin) to
be __sys_foo (T) and _foo (W).
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to satisfy commitprep.

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

testing and real-life applications:
1) If you returned from the thread function, you got a segv instead of
calling _exit() with your return code.
2) clean up some bogus stack management. There was also an underflow
on function return.
3) when making syscalls, the kernel is expecting to have to leave space
for the function's return address. We need to duplicate this. It was
an accident that the rfork syscall actually worked here. :-/
the number of times I have given this to people and got asked: why isn't
it in libc? It is impossible to do this without assembler glue to reset
the stack for the new child process.
int rfork_thread(flags, stack_addr, start_fnc, start_arg)
int flags; Flags to rfork system call. See rfork(2).
void *stack_addr; Top of stack for thread.
int (*start_fnc)(void *); Address of thread function to call in child.
void *start_arg; Argument to pass to the thread function in child.
This is deliberately not documented or prototyped in includes until the
corresponding alpha version is written.
For libc_r renamed syscalls, correct symbol naming from
_thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() to _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo(). This
is necessary for system calls which libc_r doesn't define foo().
Some weak symbols such as poll() are defined twice. From what I understand,
depending on one weak symbol or the other to be used is a bad idea. All
such weak symbols defined in the libc_r-specific code should therefore be
made strong (non-weak?).
Simplify PSEUDO() to not define any weak symbols, since they aren't ever
needed.
alpha/SYS.h:
Correct reversed usage of WEAK_ALIAS(), which has reversed arguments from
__weak_reference(). Also, fix reversal of symbols, so that syscall foo()
is a weak alias for _foo().
Add WEAK_ALIAS() call to PRSYSCALL(), which unlike the i386 version of
PRSYSCALL(), is not defined in terms of PSYSCALL().
Make PSEUDO() equivalent to the i386 version.
just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
