In particular:
- implement compat shims for old stat(2) variants and ogetdirentries(2);
- implement delivery of signals with ancient stack frame layout and
corresponding sigreturn(2);
- implement old getpagesize(2);
- provide a user-mode trampoline and LDT call gate for lcall $7,$0;
- port a.out image activator and connect it to the build as a module
on amd64.
The changes are hidden under COMPAT_43.

the kernel on amd64. Fill and read segment registers for mcontext and
signals. Handle traps caused by restoration of the
invalidated selectors.
Implement user-mode creation and manipulation of the process-specific
LDT descriptors for amd64, see sysarch(2).
Implement support for TSS i/o port access permission bitmap for amd64.
Context-switch LDT and TSS. Do not save and restore segment registers on
the context switch, that is handled by kernel enter/leave trampolines
now. Remove segment restore code from the signal trampolines for
freebsd/amd64, freebsd/ia32 and linux/i386 for the same reason.
Implement amd64-specific compat shims for sysarch.
Linuxolator (temporary ?) switched to use gsbase for thread_area pointer.
TODO:
Currently, gdb is not adapted to show segment registers from struct reg.
Also, no machine-depended ptrace command is added to set segment
registers for debugged process.

GDT to be loaded into FS.base and GS.base, these values of course
are not the values set by sysarch() with I386_SET_FSBASE and
I386_SET_GSBASE, the change fixed a crash for 32bit libthr after
signal handler returned and normal code is accessing thread pointer,
for example: movl %gs:8, %eax.
from the ia32 specific stuff. Some of this still needs to move to the MI
freebsd32 area, and some needs to move to the MD area. This is still
work-in-progress.
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.
