Kernel
	o Add udp_ioctl() for proper behaivour of libnss_dns
		o Recognise FIONREAD for UDP sockets
	o New syscalls:
		get_msg_size()
		get_tld_addr()

Misc
	The following changes to Glibc:
		o Syllable specific implementation of syslog()
		o open_attdir(): allocate enough space in the DIR struct so read_attrdir
		   doesn't stomp all over it.
		o read_attrdir() cleanup.
		o Correctly export uname()
		o Re-wrote i386/libc-lock.c; malloc now really is thread safe!
		o Implement Syllable version of bits/libc-tsd.h
			o The first six TLD slots are now allocated at start up and during
			    spawn_thread() for libc's own internal use.
