This patch adds the new PTRACE_VM_SKIPCALL and PTRACE_VM_SKIPEXIT
tags for ptrace's addr parameter.
In this way it is possible to (eventually) get rid of PTRACE_SYSEMU
PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, while providing not only the same features
but a more general support for Virtual Machines.
Part#2: user-mode Linux support.
User-mode Linux by this patch uses PTRACE_VM of the hosting operating system
and provides PTRACE_VM to its processes.
UML tests at startup which features are provided and uses PTRACE_VM or
PTRACE_SYSEMU (or nothing). PTRACE_VM and/or PTRACE_SYSEMU support can be
disabled by command line flags.
