Shenghou Ma 6e211225d7 syscall: fix mkall.sh, mksyscall_linux.pl, and regen for Linux/ARM
CL 3075041 says ARM is not little-endian, but my test suggests otherwise.
My test program is:

    package main
    import ("fmt"; "syscall"; "os")
    func main() {
       err := syscall.Fallocate(1, 1/*FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE*/, 0, int64(40960));
       fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
    }

Without this CL, ./test > testfile will show: file too large; and strace shows:
    fallocate(1, 01, 0, 175921860444160)    = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
With this CL, ./test > testfile will show: <nil>; and strace shows:
    fallocate(1, 01, 0, 40960)              = 0

Quoting rsc:
"[It turns out that] ARM syscall ABI requires 64-bit arguments to use an
(even, odd) register pair, not an (odd, even) pair. Switching to "big-endian"
worked because it ended up using the high 32-bits (always zero in the tests
we had) as the padding word, because the 64-bit argument was the last one,
and because we fill in zeros for the rest of the system call arguments, up to
six. So it happened to work."

I updated mksyscall_linux.pl to accommodate the register pair ABI requirement,
and removed all hand-tweaked syscall routines in favor of the auto-generated
ones. These including: Ftruncate, Truncate, Pread and Pwrite.

Some recent Linux/ARM distributions do not bundle kernel asm headers,
so instead we always get latest asm/unistd.h from git.kernel.org (just like
what we do for FreeBSD).

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
