Switch alpha to use PCU to manage the FPU.
Tested by mhitch and review by rmind.

- Use lwp_getpcb() on Alpha.
- Replace and clean struct user usage, slightly simplify some code parts.
- Include sys/user.h in MD proc.h .

Merge proc::p_mutex and proc::p_smutex into a single adaptive mutex, since
we no longer need to guard against access from hardware interrupt handlers.

Additionally, if cloning a process with CLONE_SIGHAND, arrange to have the
child process share the parent's lock so that signal state may be kept in
sync. Partially addresses PR kern/37437.

Convert all the system call entry points from:
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)

int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code

Convert all the system call entry points from:
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.

Kill caddr_t; there will be some MI fallout, but it will be fixed shortly.

Merge newlock2 to head.

merge ktrace-lwp.

Add missing <compat/...> includes

Merge the nathanw_sa branch.

Several changes, which get us generally further along with
multiprocessor support:
- Implement MP-safe halt.
- Make the FPU saving code more like Bill's on the i386 MP branch.
XXX This code will no doubt be revisited again.
- Pass the cpu_info and trapframe to IPI handlers, saving some work
in the handlers themselves, and also making it possible for the
"pause" handler to reference register state for DDB.
- Add "machine cpu" to DDB, making it possible to reference other
CPUs registers (and thus get e.g. a traceback) from whichever
CPU is actually running the debugger.
- Garbage-collect "machine halt" and "machine reboot" DDB commands.
They don't have a prayer of working properly in multiprocessor
kernels, and didn't really work all that well in uniprocessor kernels.

Implement MP-safe lazy FP context switching, modeled on the
way Bill Sommerfeld implemented it for x86 (and bug fixes
fed back to Bill :-)

Spell "privilege" correctly (correct spelling from Jonathan Stone).

Move cpu_info and related info into <machine/cpu.h>, and implement the
other MP API components discussed on tech-smp.

Now that we have the kthread mechanism, massively clean up the way
additional processors are spun up on multiprocessor Alpha systems.
Now, each processor gets its own idle thread (the primary processor
uses proc0). This idle thread is used in switch_exit(), rather than
explicitly referencing proc0.

Also, make `curproc', `fpcurproc', and `curpcb' per-cpu values. This
required some data structure rearrangement; cpu info is now statically
allocated in the BSS, rather than via malloc(), and cpu_softc is gone.
(Modeled somewhat after NetBSD/sparc's multiprocessor info structures.)
