pointer to the corresponding struct thread to the thread ID (lwpid_t)
assigned to that thread. The primary reason for this change is that
libthr now internally uses the same ID as the debugger and the kernel
when referencing to a kernel thread. This allows us to implement the
support for debugging without additional translations and/or mappings.
To preserve the ABI, the 1:1 threading syscalls, including the umtx
locking API have not been changed to work on a lwpid_t. Instead the
1:1 threading syscalls operate on long and the umtx locking API has
not been changed except for the contested bit. Previously this was
the least significant bit. Now it's the most significant bit. Since
the contested bit should not be tested by userland, this change is
not expected to be visible. Just to be sure, UMTX_CONTESTED has been
removed from <sys/umtx.h>.

acquire Giant, sleep, etc. We already do a PHOLD/PRELE around them so
that it is safe to sleep inside of these routines if necessary. This

You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

the extattr retrieval API:
extattr_list_fd()
extattr_list_file()
extattr_list_link()
The existing API was counter-intuitive, and poorly documented.
The prototypes for these system calls are identical to
extattr_get_*(), but without a specific attribute name to
leave NULL.

nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.
Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.
