As of version 2.6.0 of the Linux kernel, dev_t is a 32-bit unsigned integer
on all platforms. Prior the 2.6 kernel dev_t type was an unsigned short.
However, since the firs commit of the Linuxulator, mknod syscall get int dev
argument.
Also, there is some confusion here, while the kernel declares a dev_t type
as a 32-bit sized, the user-space dev_t type can be size of 64 bits, e.g.,
in the Glibc library.
To avoid confusion and to help porting of the Linuxulator to other platforms
use explicit l_dev_t for dev argument of mknod syscalls.
Have more accruate comments. While #if, #else, etc are copied to the
header files, lines that don't start with # are not. And #include files
are only output to sysinc (which winds up at the front of init_sysent.c
which seems a bit odd). This is all radically undocumented, and likely
has drifted somewhat from 4.4BSD and what other systems do (they've
drifted too, fwiw).

The Linux32 system call argument fetcher places each argument (passed in
registers in the Linux x86 system call convention) into an entry in the
generic system call args array. Each member of this array is 8 bytes
wide, so this approach is broken for system calls that take off_t
arguments.
Fix the problem by splitting l_loff_t arguments in the 32-bit system
call descriptions, the same as we do for FreeBSD32. Change entry points
to handle this using the PAIR32TO64 macro.
Move linux_ftruncate64() into compat/linux.

For 32-bit Linuxulator, ipc() syscall was historically
the entry point for the IPC API. Starting in Linux 4.18, direct
syscalls are provided for the IPC. Enable it.

opt_compat.h is mentioned in nearly 180 files. In-progress network
driver compabibility improvements may add over 100 more so this is
closer to "just about everywhere" than "only some files" per the
guidance in sys/conf/options.
Keep COMPAT_LINUX32 in opt_compat.h as it is confined to a subset of
sys/compat/linux/*.c. A fake _COMPAT_LINUX option ensure opt_compat.h
is created on all architectures.
Move COMPAT_LINUXKPI to opt_dontuse.h as it is only used to control the
set of compiled files.
