VM86 calls instead of the real mode emulator as a backend. VM86 has been
proven reliable for very long time and it is actually few times faster than
emulation. Increase maximum number of page table entries per VM86 context
from 3 to 8 pages. It was (ridiculously) low and insufficient for new VM86
backend, which shares one context globally. Slighly rearrange and clean up
the emulator backend to accommodate new code. The only visible change here
is stack size, which is decreased from 64K to 4K bytes to sync. with VM86.
Actually, it seems there is no need for big stack in real mode.

details of the string buffer allocation in one place.
Eliminate the portion of the string buffer that was dedicated to storing
the interpreter name. The pointer to the interpreter name can simply be
made to point to the appropriate argument string.

shell command are stored in exec*()'s demand-paged string buffer. For
a "buildworld" on an 8GB amd64 multiprocessor, the new order reduces
the number of global TLB shootdowns by 31%. It also eliminates about
330k page faults on the kernel address space.
Change exec_shell_imgact() to use "args->begin_argv" consistently as
the start of the argument and environment strings. Previously, it
would sometimes use "args->buf", which is the start of the overall
buffer, but no longer the start of the argument and environment
strings. While I'm here, eliminate unnecessary passing of "&length"
to copystr(), where we don't actually care about the length of the
copied string.
Clean up the initialization of the exec map. In particular, use the
correct size for an entry, and express that size in the same way that
is used when an entry is allocated. The old size was one page too
large. (This discrepancy originated in 2004 when I rewrote
exec_map_first_page() to use sf_buf_alloc() instead of the exec map
for mapping the first page of the executable.)

- Rename tdsignal() to tdsendsignal() and make it private to kern_sig.c.
- Add tdsignal() and tdksignal() routines that mirror psignal() and
pksignal() except that they accept a thread as an argument instead of
a process. They send a signal to a specific thread rather than to an
individual process.

Intention of this commit is to let us take a full advantage
of libusb(8) ported to Linux. This decreases a possibility of getting
any collisions within ioctl() "command" space, especially with
relation to LINUX_SNDCTL_SEQ... stuff.
Basically, we provide commands, that will be mapped in the kernel
to correct ones and forward those to the USB layer. Port enabling
functionality brought with this patch is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=146895
Bump __FreeBSD_version to catch, since which version installing a
port makes sense.
This patch should bring no regressions. So far, only i386 is tested.

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.
within the VBE interrupt handler. Unfortunately it was causing real mode
page faults because we were fetching instructions from bogus addresses.
