Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
syscalls.
This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

X32 ptrace is a hybrid of 64bit ptrace and compat ptrace with 32bit
address and longs. It use 64bit ptrace to access the full 64bit
registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR are only allowed to access
segment and debug registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR returns the lower 32bits
and PTRACE_POKEUSR zero-extends 32bit value to 64bit. It works since
the upper 32bits of segment and debug registers of x32 process are always
zero. GDB only uses PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR to access
segment and debug registers.
[ hpa: changed TIF_X32 test to use !is_ia32_task() instead, and moved
the system call number to the now-unused 521 slot. ]

clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process
has burned. It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to
consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system.
As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already
switched to a 64-bit time_t.
clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really
not a very significant change. The one that has the biggest impact is
in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't
change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a
localized change.
This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty
late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse
system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.

Generate macros for the *kernel* code to use to refer to x32 system

Split the 64-bit system calls into "64" (64-bit only) and "common"
(64-bit or x32) and add the x32 system call numbers.

On x86, the only difference between sys_rt_sigprocmask and
sys32_rt_sigprocmask is the alignment of the data structures.
However, x86 allows data accesses with arbitrary alignment, and
therefore there is no reason for this code to be different.

Create a simple set of syscall tables and scripts to turn them into
both header files (unistd_*.h) and macros for generating the system
