Juli Mallett 1226f694e6 First half of implementation of ksiginfo, signal queues, and such. This gets signals operating based on a TailQ, and is good enough to run X11, GNOME, and do job control. There are some intricate parts which could be more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract to fit our needs. After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our (queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but right now there is no defined behaviour for such. CODAFS is unfinished in this regard because the logic is unclear in some places.

Some Alpha AXP OSF/1 binaries directly use the facilities provided by
the Mach kernel that is the basis for OSF/1.  These include (but are
surely not limited to) 'dd', 'ps', and 'w'.

Invariably, the symptom that these binaries display is that they crash
with an "unimplemented system call" trap (SIGSYS signal) for a syscall
that has a negative number.  In general, binaries that use the Mach
syscalls appear to invoke task_self() as their first syscall.

The name, number, and number of arguments for each Mach syscall is
given below; this information was gleaned by looking through the OSF/1
libmach.a's object files with dbx, then double-checked against the
contents of OSF/1's <mach/syscall_sw.h>.

These calls would be very difficult to implement properly in the
OSF/1 emulation code; by its very nature, NetBSD is not Mach, and we
don't and can't provide the underlying facilities that it does.
