This CL is in preparation to make cgo work on freebsd/arm.
How to generate defs-files on freebsd/arm in the bootstrapping phase:
1. run freebsd on appropriate arm-eabi platforms
2. both syscall z-files and runtime def-files in the current tree are
broken about EABI padding, fix them by hand
3. run make.bash again to build $GOTOOLDIR/cgo
4. use $GOTOOLDIR/cgo directly

UMTX_OP_WAIT expects that the address points to a uintptr, but
the code in lock_futex.c uses a uint32. UMTX_OP_WAIT_UINT is
just like UMTX_OP_WAIT, but the address points to a uint32.
This almost certainly makes no difference on a little-endian
system, but since the kernel supports it we should do the
right thing. And, who knows, maybe it matters.

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.
