[RFC nowrap: PATCH v7 00/19] ILP32 for ARM64

This series enables aarch64 with ilp32 mode, and as supporting work,
introduces ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T configuration option that is enabled for
existing 32-bit architectures but disabled for new arches (so 64-bit
off_t is is used by new userspace).

This version is based on kernel v4.7-rc3.
It works with glibc-2.23, and tested with LTP.

This is RFC because there is no solid understanding what type of registers
top-halves delousing we prefer. In this patchset, w0-w7 are cleared for each
syscall in assembler entry. The alternative approach is in introducing compat
wrappers which is little faster for natively routed syscalls (~2.6% for syscall
with no payload) but much more complicated.

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: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/23/661
v7: RFC nowrap:
     - wrappers removed, unconditional register delousing is introduced.
     - ino_t, off_t etc are turned to 64-bit.
     - added is_compat_thread(),
     - fixed ilp32 ELF_PLATFORM MACRO,
     - fixed ilp32 ELF_DYN_BASE,
     - ptrace redirected to compat version.
     - stat, statfs - related syscalls are redirected to native handlers.
     - elf_greg_t and elf_gregset_t types are taken from lp64.
     - Documentation updated.
