OK, done.  Can I consider this reviewed and OK to be committed?  Diffs
with your comments incorporated are at the same place:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/ucontext/uc-sys.diffs
  http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/ucontext/uc-libc.diffs

One last question, I added a new file, kern/kern_context.c, that only
has about 90 or so lines in it (including copyright and includes).  I
wasn't sure where it fit in, kern_proc.c or kern_sig.c perhaps(?).
Let me know if it should be moved to one of these files or another
existing file.  Otherwise, I'll just leave it in kern_context.c.
