So, there I was, looking at my own code, wondering what the magic setjmp
return values did. This patch turns the constants that are used to make
requests of the initial thread into meaningful symbols.

Remove the __deprecated from verify_area_skas and verify_area_tt. Since
verify_area is itself marked __deprecated, and it is the only caller of
these, then they don't need to be marked. Marking them only makes the
build noisier.

This makes SIGWINCH work again, and fixes a couple of SIGWINCH-associated
crashes. First, the sigio thread disables SIGWINCH because all hell breaks
loose if it ever gets one and tries to call the signal handling code. Second,
there was a problem with deferencing tty structs after they were freed. The
SIGWINCH support for a tty wasn't being turned off or freed after the tty went
away.

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.
It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.
The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt
Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.
Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to
FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
extracts the faulting address from faultinfo
FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
extracts the "is_write" flag
SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
on i386
UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
in regs->skas.faultinfo
GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
struct faultinfo.
On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.
The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.
Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

mk_ptregs converted. Nothing new here, it's the same situation as with
mk_user_constants.

There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.
There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.
After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.

GCC 2.95 uses __va_copy instead of va_copy. Handle it inside compiler.h
instead of in a casual file, and avoid the risk that this breaks with a newer
compiler (which it could do).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
