patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

Implement two previously-reserved Capsicum system calls:
- cap_new() creates a capability to wrap an existing file descriptor
- cap_getrights() queries the rights mask of a capability.

vop_stdallocate() is filesystem agnostic and will run as slow as a
read/write loop in userspace; however, it serves to correctly
implement the functionality for filesystems that do not implement a
VOP_ALLOCATE.
Note that __FreeBSD_version was already bumped today to 900036 for any
ports which would like to use this function.
Also reserve space in the syscall table for posix_fadvise(2).

There is a generic problem with the shims for ioctls that receive
pointers to the usermode data areas in the data argument. We either have
to modify the handler to accept UIO_USERSPACE/UIO_SYSSPACE indicator, or
allocate and fill a usermode memory for data buffer in the host format.
The change goes the second route, in particular because we do not need
to modify the handler.

- 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.

Code inspection shows freebsd32_ioctl calls fget for a fd and calls
a subroutine to handle each specific ioctl. It is expected that the
subroutine will call fdrop when done. However many of the subroutines
will exit out early if copyin encounters an error resulting in fdrop
never being called.

thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

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.)
