[RFC3 nowrap: PATCH v7 00/18] 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 v4.9-rc1.  It works with glibc-2.24,
and tested with LTP.

This version contains ABI changes, and should be used with new glibc
version. See links below.

This is RFC because there is still no solid understanding what type
of registers top-halves delousing we prefer and it affects ABI. 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.

Patch 1 may be applied separately from other patches of series.

 - rebased on kernel 4.9-rc1;
 - setrlimit(), getrlimit() special handling is dropped.
   rlim_t is still 64-bit, but glibc is forced to use sys_prlimit64(),
   and redirection is not needed anymore;
 - sys_stat() and sys_stat64() redirection is dropped. Glibc defines
   aarch32-compatible struct stat instead;
 - sys_fcntl() redirection is dropped. Glibc sets proper definitions for
   requests instead;
 - renameat() is disabled for aarch64/ilp32. Glibc is forced to use renameat2();
 - __ARCH_WANT_SYNC_FILE_RANGE2 is enabled for aarch64/ilp32 to force it use
   sys_sync_file_range2 prior to sys_sync_file_range, like aarch32;
 - VDSO code refactored. Version is switched to 4.9.
 - comments  and documentation are revised;
 - checkpatch.pl errors are fixed.
