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
calls. These have an __NR_x32_ prefix and do not include
__X32_SYSCALL_BIT.

Generate <asm/unistd_x32.h>; this exports x32 system call numbers to
user space.

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.

Allow the specified syscall offset to be symbolic, e.g. a macro. For
offset system calls, this if nothing else makes the generated code
easier to read.

Simplify syscallhdr.sh by letting grep sort out the ABIs that we want,
rather than relying on manual list matching. This is safe since the
ABI strings already have to consist only of characters which are valid in C
macro names.

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