sys/compat: Memset zero before copyout.

Just in case of uninitialized padding which would lead to kernel
stack disclosure. If the compiler can prove the memset redundant
then it can optimize it away; otherwise better safe than sorry.

fix typos in asymmetry, asymmetric(al), symmetrical.

Rename

fpu_save_area_clear -> fpu_clear
fpu_save_area_reset -> fpu_sigreset

Clearer, and reduces a future diff. No real functional change.

Remove the second argument from USERMODE and KERNELMODE, it is unused
now that we don't have vm86 anymore.

Remove vm86. Simplifies a number of critical places.

Pass 2.

Rename ldt->ldtstore and gdt->gdtstore on i386. It reduces the diff with
amd64, and makes it easier to track down these variables on nxr - 'ldt'
and 'gdt' being common keywords.

x86_alldisks can be NULL, so don't dereference it. Not tested, but obvious
enough.

Fix DIOCGPARTINFO

Replace DIOCGPART -> DIOCGPARTINFO which returns the data needed instead of
pointers.

Do not uselessly include <sys/malloc.h>.

Add explicit #include <x86/fpu.h> instead of relying on pcb.h including it.

Remove all references to MDL_USEDFPU and deferred fpu initialisation.

Remove all references to MDL_USEDFPU and deferred fpu initialisation.
The cost of zeroing the save area on exec is minimal.
This stops the FP registers of a random process being used the first
time an lwp uses the fpu.
sendsig_siginfo() and get_mcontext() now unconditionally copy the FP
registers.
I'll remove the double-copy for signal handlers soon.
get_mcontext() might have been leaking kernel memory to userspace - and
may still do so if i386_use_fxsave is false (short copies).

Remove support for 'external' floating point units and the MS-DOS
compatible method of handling floating point exceptions.
Make kernel support for teh fpu non-optional (486SX should still work).
Only 386 cpus support external fpu, and i386 support was removed years ago.
This means that the npx code no longer uses port 0xf0 or interupt 13.
All the "npx at isa" lines go from the configs, arch/i386/isa/npx.c
is now mandatory for all i386 kernels.
I've renamed npxinit() to fpuinit() and npxinit_cpu() to fpuinit_cpu()
to match the very similar amd64 functions.
The fpu of the boot cpu is now initialised by a direct call from
cpu_configure(), this enables FP emulation for a 486SX.
(for amd64 the cr0 values are set in locore.S and similar).
This fixes a long-standing bug in linux_setregs() - which did not
save the fpu regsiters if they were active.
I've test booted a single cpu i386 kernel (using anita).
amd64 builds - none of teh changes should affect it.
The i386 XEN kernels build, but I'm not sure where they set cr0, and
it might have got lost!

Flatten the floating point register structures bu moving the

There are x87 instructions that only affect the environment, but that
is no real excuse for all the sub-structures.
Rename fields so that there are far fewer collisions between the two
sets of field names.

Use the MI "pcu" framework for bookkeeping of npx/fpu states on x86.
This reduces the amount of MD code enormously, and makes it easier
to implement support for newer CPU features which require more fpu
state, or for fpu usage by the kernel.
For access to FPU state across CPUs, an xcall kthread is used now
rather than a dedicated IPI.
No user visible changes intended.

Refactor ps_strings access. Based on PK_32, write either the normal
version or the 32bit compat layout in execve1. Introduce a new function
copyin_psstrings for reading it back from userland and converting it to
the native layout. Refactor procfs to share most of the code with the
kern.proc_args sysctl handler.

This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.

many changes for COMPAT_LINUX:
- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
