configurations and make it opt-in for those who want it. LINT will
still build it.
While it may be a perfect win in some scenarios, it still troubles users
(see PRs) in general cases. In addition we are still allocating resources
even if disabled by sysctl and still leak arp/nd6 entries in case of
interface destruction.

This is a minor cosmetic change - the users are more likely to want to
increase (rather than decrease) default kernel stack size,
which is already 4 pages on amd64.

invocation for each child process.
Remove eventhandler(schedtail) code and change linux ABI to use newly added
sysvec method.
While here replace explicit comparing of module sysentvec structure with the
newly created process sysentvec to detect the linux ABI.

on processors that support 1 GB pages. Specifically, if the end of physical
memory is not aligned to a 1 GB page boundary, then map the residual
physical memory with multiple 2 MB page mappings rather than a single 1 GB
page mapping. When a 1 GB page mapping is used for this residual memory,
access to the memory is slower than when multiple 2 MB page mappings are
used. (I suspect that the reason for this slowdown is that the TLB is
actually being loaded with 4 KB page mappings for the residual memory.)

White list sysarch calls allowed in capability mode; arguably, there
should be some link between the capability mode model and the privilege
model here. Sysarch is a morass similar to ioctl, in many senses.

context. If the register is not touched in usermode between
return from signal and next syscall entry, the sign-extension
part of 64bit register is not cleared, causing
linux32_fetch_syscall_args() to read wrong values.
Use unsigned type for the registers in the linux sigcontext.

started to execute, it seems that the corresponding ISR bit in the "old"
local APIC can be cleared. This causes the local APIC interrupt routine
to fail to find an interrupt to service. Rather than panic'ing in this
case, simply return from the interrupt without sending an EOI to the
local APIC. If there are any other pending interrupts in other ISR
registers, the local APIC will assert a new interrupt.
