Older versions of GCC don't allow flexible array members in a union.
Use a zero length array instead.

arm, mips, and powerpc all implement pmap_mapdev_attr() and pmap_unmapdev(),
so add those archs to the checks. powerpc also includes the atomic_swap_*()
functions, so add that to the supported list as well. Not tested except by
compiling powerpc.

the LinuxKPI for accessing user-space memory in the kernel.
Add functions to hold and wire physical page(s) based on a given range
of user-space virtual addresses.
Add functions to get and put a reference on, wire, hold, mark
accessed, copy and dirty a physical page.
Add new VM related structures and defines as a preparation step for
advancing the memory map capabilities of the LinuxKPI.
Add function to figure out if a virtual address was allocated using
malloc().
Add function to convert a virtual kernel address into its physical
page pointer.

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.

- Fix implementation of atomic_add_unless(). The atomic_cmpset_int()
function returns a boolean and not the previous value of the atomic
variable.
- The atomic counters should be signed according to Linux.
- Some minor cosmetics and styling while at it.

- 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.
