[patch 2/4] [RFC] syscalls, x86: Add __NR_kcmp syscall v4

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the userspace one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are shared
between tasks and restore this state.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare
syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.

One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.

Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparision' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.

It takes up to 5 agruments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparision type and
(in case of comparision of files) two file descriptors.

At moment only x86 is supported.
