Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the
nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a
struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon.
Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc
compat stat64 syscalls.

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.
All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.
Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:
1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.
Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
