The old code was spread out through the machdep code and was sloppy about
enabling and disabling the FEN bit (which controls access to the FP
register set). This caused a DIAGNOSTIC warning "DANGER WILL ROBINSON:
FEN SET IN cpu_fork!" sometimes when operating under high loads and could
conceivably lead to processes getting incorrect FP results.
The new code is much more strict about the FEN bit and makes sure that
*only* fpcurproc ever has it enabled. This also allows us to remove a
section of code from the exception_return path which might improve
performance marginally.

struct sigcontext and ucontext_t/mcontext_t are defined in such
a way that both (ie struct sigcontext and ucontext_t) can be
passed on to sigreturn. The signal handler is still given a
ucontext_t for maximum flexibility.
For backward compatibility sigreturn restores the state for the
alternate signal stack from sigcontext.sc_onstack and not from
ucontext_t.uc_stack. A good way to determine which value the
application has set and thus which value to use, is still open
for discussion.
NOTE: This change should only affect those binaries that use
sigcontext and/or ucontext_t. In the source tree itself
this is only doscmd. Recompilation is required for those
applications.
This commit also fixes a lot of style bugs without hopefully
adding new ones.
NOTE: struct sigaltstack.ss_size now has type size_t again. For
some reason I changed that into unsigned int.

-----------------------------
By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.
A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.
The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).
the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.
NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
using sc_reserved in sigcontext.

If machine/bus.h is included, but neither bus_memio.h nor bus_pio.h
are included, then behave as if both were included.
This won't change existing drivers, all of which include one or more
of bus_{p,mem}io.h, but will allow drivers from other systems to come
over with fewer changes. I freely admit that this might not be
optimal for some drivers, but those drivers can be optimized for
FreeBSD after the initial bringup happens.
Without the change, there is a bug that preclude drivers from
compiling with strange warning/errors.
I've been running this here for a while now w/o ill effects.

On the Alpha, the dynamic linker is loaded MAXDSIZ bytes beyond
the start of the program's data segment. This is the same place
a userland mmap(0, ...) call would put it, so it ends up just below
all the shared libraries. The rationale behind the calculation is
that it allows room for the data segment to grow to its maximum
possible size.
