The naming in this package is a disaster.
Make it all consistent.
Remove some 'static' from functions that will
be referred to from other files soon.
This CL is purely renames using global search and replace.
Submitting separately so that real changes will not
be drowned out by these renames in future CLs.

sysarch requires arguments to be passed on the stack, not in registers.
Credit to Shenghou Ma (minux) for the fix.

When we release memory to the OS, if the OS doesn't want us
to release it (for example, because the program executed
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE)), madvise will fail. Ignore the failure
instead of crashing.
Fixes#3435.

madvise was missing so implement it in assembler. This change
needs to be extended to the other BSD variantes (Net and Open)
Without this change the scavenger will attempt to pass memory back
to the operating system when it has become idle, but the memory is
not returned and for long running Go processes the total memory used
can grow until OOM occurs.
I have only been able to test the code on FreeBSD AMD64. The ARM
platforms needs testing.
