A set of helper functions have been added to manage the life of the
LinuxKPI task struct. When an external system call or task is invoked,
a check is made to create the task struct by demand. A thread
destructor callback is registered to free the task struct when a
thread exits to avoid memory leaks.
This change lays the ground for emulating the Linux kernel more
closely which is a dependency by the code using the LinuxKPI APIs.
Add new dedicated td_lkpi_task field has been added to struct thread
instead of abusing td_retval[1].
Fix some header file inclusions to make LINT kernel build properly
after this change.
Bump the __FreeBSD_version to force a rebuild of all kernel modules.

run after a panic(). This for example allows a LinuxKPI based graphics
stack to receive prints during a panic.

Linux requires that all IOCTL data resides in userspace. FreeBSD
always moves the main IOCTL structure into a kernel buffer before
invoking the IOCTL handler and then copies it back into userspace,
before returning. Hide this difference in the "linux_copyin()" and
"linux_copyout()" functions by remapping userspace addresses in the
range from 0x10000 to 0x20000, to the kernel IOCTL data buffer.
It is assumed that the userspace code, data and stack segments starts
no lower than memory address 0x400000, which is also stated by "man 1
ld", which means any valid userspace pointer can be passed to regular
LinuxKPI handled IOCTLs.
Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all kernel modules.

"current" inside all LinuxKPI file operation callbacks. The "current"
is frequently used for various debug prints, printing the thread name
and thread ID for example.

- 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.
