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.

On all the other architectures, this function can also be called on the
currently running thread. In this case, we shouldn't fix up the address
in the PCB, but also patch up the register itself. Otherwise it will not
become active and will simply become overwritten by the next switch.

between ACPI and FDT. This will be needed on machines with both, e.g. the
SoftIron Overdrive 3000. The kernel will accept one or more comma separated
values of either 'acpi' or 'fdt'. Any other values are skipped.
To set it the user can either set it on the loader command line, or
in loader.conf e.g. in loader.conf:
kern.cfg.order=acpi,fdt
This will try using ACPI then FDT. If none of the selected options work the
kernel tries to use one to get the serial console, then panics.

It turns out that this value is not used within the system call code
under normal conditions, except when using tracing tools like ktrace.
If we forget to set this value, it is set to random garbage. This may
cause ktrace to hang indefinitely, making it impossible to kill.

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
been used to boot them for other testing, including DTrace and hwpmc.
With this we can use intrng on all supported arm64 platforms I was able to
test on. It is expected we will move to intrng soon, and disable the old
arm64 interrupt framework.

Currently we are not checking for either before trying to write to the special
registers. This can lead to problems on hardware or simulators that do not
provide the security extensions. Add the missing checks. Their interactions with
the CPU flag is not entirely clear to me but using a macro will make it easier
to quickly adjust the condition once the CPU bits are sorted as well.
