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).

As the Linux semop syscall is not defined in i386, and as it is equal
to the native semop syscall, call it directly.
Fix semop definition to match Linux actual one - nsops is size_t type.

On Linux, this syscall doesn't take any arguments; instead
it assumes the context was put on the stack.

Linux/arm64 is CLONE_BACKWARDS - i.e., "Architecture has tls passed as
the 4th argument of clone(2), not the 5th one."
The linux clone() syscall has four different permutations of argument
order, depending on architecture - see the #ifdef CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS
maze in Linux's kernel/fork.c.

This is the first step (after the recent refactoring of some common
code) to supporting the Linuxulator on arm64.
