The time has come for a kernel interfacing library layer

    Joerg, does this look ok as an extension to tls_tcb ?  I also added
    some pad to reduce compat headaches in the future.
    We then need to add the code to assign tcb_errno_p during initial
    and new TCB creation.
    I've got the syscall generation infrastructure almost done.  I just
    need to copy the exceptional cases (e.g. fork(), rfork()) from libc.

Do you mean kernel will directly write errno into userland memory?
