- Mark AIO system calls as STD and remove the helpers to dynamically
register them.
- Use COMPAT6 for the old system calls with the older sigevent instead of
an 'o' prefix.
- Simplify the POSIX configuration to note that AIO is always available.
- Handle AIO in the default VOP_PATHCONF instead of special casing it in
the pathconf() system call. fpathconf() is still hackish.
- Remove freebsd32_aio_cancel() as it just called the native one directly.

So, ignore any errors and return 0 as a Linux do.
XXX. Unlike POSIX, Linux in case when the invalid seconds value specified
always return 0, so in that case Linux does not return proper remining time.

number in the usual way.
- Pass negative error numbers directly to the syscall layer, as they're
not intended to be returned to userland.

- Make the system call fail if prot contains bits other than read, write

- Similar to OpenBSD's W^X, don't allow write and exec to be set at the
same time. I'd like to see for now what happens if we enforce this
policy unconditionally. If it turns out that this is far too strict,
we'll loosen this requirement.

fork1 required its callers to pass a pointer to struct proc * which would
be set to the new process (if any). procdesc and racct manipulation also
used said pointer.
However, the process could have exited prior to do_fork return and be
automatically reaped, thus making this a use-after-free.
Fix the problem by letting callers indicate whether they want the pid or
the struct proc, return the process in stopped state for the latter case.

If a driver's Linux mmap callback passed vm_page_prot through unchanged,
then linux_dev_mmap_single() would try to apply whatever VM_MEMATTR_xxx
value 0 is to the mapping. On x86, VM_MEMATTR_DEFAULT is the PAT value
for write-back (WB) which is 6, while 0 maps to the PAT value for
uncacheable (UC). Thus, any mmap request that did not explicitly set
page_prot was tried to map memory as UC triggering the warning in
sg_pager_getpages().

and replace crcopysafe by crcopy as crcopysafe is is not intended to be
safe in a threaded environment, it drops PROC_LOCK() in while() that
can lead to unexpected results, such as overwrite kernel memory.
In my POV crcopysafe() needs special attention. For now I do not see
any problems with this function, but who knows.

The set_robust_list system call request the kernel to record the head
of the list of robust futexes owned by the calling thread. The head
argument is the list head to record.
The get_robust_list system call should return the head of the robust
list of the thread whose thread id is specified in pid argument.
The list head should be stored in the location pointed to by head
argument.
In contrast, our implemenattion of get_robust_list system call copies
the known portion of memory pointed by recorded in set_robust_list
system call pointer to the head of the robust list to the location
pointed by head argument.
So, it is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel
memory, which may result in a privilege escalation.
