Tasklets are implemented using a taskqueue and a small statemachine on
top. The additional statemachine is required to ensure all LinuxKPI
tasklets get serialized. FreeBSD taskqueues do not guarantee
serialisation of its tasks, except when there is only one worker
thread configured.

- Properly prefix internal functions with "linux_" instead of only a
single underscore to avoid future namespace collisions.
- Make some functions global instead of inline to ease debugging and
to avoid unnecessary code duplication.
- Remove no longer existing kthread_create() function's prototype.

- 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.
