This version is rebased on kernel v4.6-rc2, and has fixes in signal subsystem.
It works with updated glibc [1] (though very draft), and tested with LTP.

It was tested on QEMU and ThunderX machines. No major difference found.
This is RFC because ILP32 is not tested in big-endian mode.

 v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/704
 v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/13/691
 v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/29/911

 v6:
 - time_t, __kenel_off_t and other types turned to be 32-bit
   for compatibility reasons (after v5 discussion);
 - related changes applied to ILP32 syscall table and handlers;
 - ILP32 VDSO code excluded. It's not mandatory, and caused questions
   during review process. We definitely make sure we will follow up
   with a VDSO later on because it is needed for performance reasons;
 - fixed build issues with different combinations of AARCH32 / ILP32
   enabling in config;
 - ILP32 TLS bug fixed;
 - entry32-common.S introduced to hold wrappers needed for both ILP32
   and AARCH32_EL0;
 - documentation updated according to latest changes;
 - rebased to the current head;
 - coding style re-checked;
 - ILP32 syscall table turned around.

   rfc3:
 - all structures and system calls are just like AARCH32 ones now. with 2
   exceptions: syscalls that take 64-bit parameter in 2 32-bit regosters
   are replaced with LP64 version; struct rt_sigframe is constructed both
   from LP64 and AARCH32 fields to be consistent with AARCH64 register set;
 - documentation rewritten accordingly;
 - common code for all 3 ABIs is moved to separated files for easy use,
   new headers and objects are introduced, incl: is_compat.h, thread_bits.h,
   signal_common.h, signal32_common.h.
 - ILP32 VDSO code restored, Nathans comments are addressed;
 - patch "arm64: ilp32: force IPC_64 in msgctl, shmctl, semctl" removed, as
   Arnd suggested general solution for IPC_64 problem.

   rfc4:
 - sys_ilp32.c syscall list is fixed according to comments;
 - binfmt_elf32.c and binfmt_ilp32.c are introduced to host the code handling
   corresponding formats;
 - statfs64, fstsatfs64 and mmap wrappers are removed;
 - rebased on v4.4-rc8 + http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2151759.html

 rfc5:
 - addressed rfc4 comments;
 - turned s390 compat wrappers to be generic and applied it to arm64/ilp32.
   Heiko Carsten and Martin Schwidefsky added to CC as s390 maintainers.

 rfc6:
 - glibc follows new ABI, [1];
 - significant rework for signal subsystem (patches 21, 23) - struct ucontext
   is now corresponds user representation;
 - compat wrappers and 32-bit off_t patchsets are joined with this patchset,
   as for now ilp32 is the only user for them;
 - moved to kernel v4.6-rc2;
 - few minor bugfixes.
