MFC r321839:

Implement proper Linux /dev/fd and /proc/self/fd behavior by adding
Linux specific things to the native fdescfs file system.

Unlike FreeBSD, the Linux fdescfs is a directory containing a symbolic
links to the actual files, which the process has open.
A readlink(2) call on this file returns a full path in case of regular file
or a string in a special format (type:[inode], anon_inode:<file-type>, etc..).
As well as in a FreeBSD, opening the file in the Linux fdescfs directory is
equivalent to duplicating the corresponding file descriptor.

Here we have mutually exclusive requirements:
- in case of readlink(2) call fdescfs lookup() method should return VLNK
vnode otherwise our kern_readlink() fail with EINVAL error;
- in the other calls fdescfs lookup() method should return non VLNK vnode.

For what new vnode v_flag VV_READLINK was added, which is set if fdescfs has beed
mounted with linrdlnk option an modified kern_readlinkat() to properly handle it.

For now For Linux ABI compatibility mount fdescfs volume with linrdlnk option:

mount -t fdescfs -o linrdlnk null /compat/linux/dev/fd

Obviously the option is known as COMPAT_LINUX32 on amd64.

# 203684 08-Feb-2010 gavin

Update .Dt on these man pages: the kernel modules and corresponding man
pages are installed on more platforms than just i386.


# 181942 20-Aug-2008 rpaulo

Move man pages out of man4.i386. Most of them are applicable to amd64
too, so, instead of descending to the i386 directory, we add some magic to
the parent Makefile.
These man pages refer to drivers that I'm aware that work on amd64. Most
likely there are more, but I'll deal with them later.

# 153741 26-Dec-2005 sobomax

Remove kern.elf32.can_exec_dyn sysctl. Instead extend Brandinfo structure
with flags bitfield and set BI_CAN_EXEC_DYN flag for all brands that usually
allow executing elf dynamic binaries (aka shared libraries). When it is
requested to execute ET_DYN elf image check if this flag is on after we
know the elf brand allowing execution if so.
