stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls. It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4. The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.
Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place. But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.
On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure. The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting. The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes. This still needs
to be optimized.
