kit, CK, in the LinuxKPI.
When threads are pinned to a CPU core or when there is only one CPU,
it can happen that a higher priority thread can call the CK
synchronize function while a lower priority thread holds the read
lock. Because the CK's synchronize is a simple wait loop this can lead
to a deadlock situation. To solve this problem use the recently
introduced CK's wait callback function.
When detecting a CK blocking condition figure out the lowest priority
among the blockers and update the calling thread's priority and
yield. If another CPU core is holding the read lock, pin the thread to
the blocked CPU core and update the priority. The calling threads
priority and CPU bindings are restored before return.
If a thread holding a CK read lock is detected to be sleeping, pause()
will be used instead of yield().

- Move all bitmap related functions from bitops.h to bitmap.h, similar
to what Linux does.
- Apply some minor code cleanup and simplifications to optimize the
generated code when using static inline functions.
- Implement the following list of bitmap functions which are needed by
drm-next and ibcore:
- bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
- bitmap_find_next_zero_area()
- bitmap_or()
- bitmap_and()
- bitmap_xor()
- Add missing include directives to the qlnxe driver

In FreeBSD thread IDs and procedure IDs have distinct number
spaces. When asking for the group leader task ID in the LinuxKPI,
return the procedure ID and let this resolve to the first task in the
procedure having a valid LinuxKPI task structure pointer.

functions in the LinuxKPI. Add a usage atomic to the task_struct
structure to facilitate refcounting the task structure when returned
from get_pid_task(). The get_task_struct() and put_task_struct()
function is used to manage atomic refcounting. After this change the
task_struct should only be freed through put_task_struct().

some associated helper functions in the LinuxKPI. Let the existing
linux_alloc_current() function allocate and initialize the new
structure and let linux_free_current() drop the refcount on the memory
mapping structure. When the mm_struct's refcount reaches zero, the
structure is freed.

A set of helper functions have been added to manage the life of the
LinuxKPI task struct. When an external system call or task is invoked,
a check is made to create the task struct by demand. A thread
destructor callback is registered to free the task struct when a
thread exits to avoid memory leaks.
This change lays the ground for emulating the Linux kernel more
closely which is a dependency by the code using the LinuxKPI APIs.
Add new dedicated td_lkpi_task field has been added to struct thread
instead of abusing td_retval[1].
Fix some header file inclusions to make LINT kernel build properly

Linux requires that all IOCTL data resides in userspace. FreeBSD
always moves the main IOCTL structure into a kernel buffer before
invoking the IOCTL handler and then copies it back into userspace,
before returning. Hide this difference in the "linux_copyin()" and
"linux_copyout()" functions by remapping userspace addresses in the
range from 0x10000 to 0x20000, to the kernel IOCTL data buffer.
It is assumed that the userspace code, data and stack segments starts
no lower than memory address 0x400000, which is also stated by "man 1
ld", which means any valid userspace pointer can be passed to regular
LinuxKPI handled IOCTLs.
Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all kernel modules.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
