I broke it with the darwin getwd attrlist stuff (0583e9d36dd).
plan9 doesn't have syscall.ENOTSUP.

It's in api/go1.txt as a symbol always available (not context-specific):

pkg syscall, const ENOTSUP Errno

... but plan9 isn't considered by cmd/api, so it only looks
universally available.  Alternatively, we could add a fake ENOTSUP
to plan9, but they were making efforts earlier to clean their
syscall package, so I'd prefer not to dump more in it.

Looks like latest FreeBSD doesn't set address family identifer
for RTAX_NETMASK stuff; probably RTAX_GENMASK too, not confirmed.
This CL tries to identify address families by using the length of
each socket address if possible.

The issue is confirmed on FreeBSD 9.1.

Unlike the existing net package own pollster, runtime-integrated
network pollster on BSD variants, actually kqueue, requires a socket
that has beed passed to syscall.Listen previously for a stream
listener.

This CL separates pollDesc.Init (actually runtime_pollOpen) from newFD
to allow control of each state of sockets and adds init method to netFD
instead. Upcoming CLs will rearrange the call order of runtime-integrated
pollster and syscall functions like the following;

- For dialers that open active connections, runtime_pollOpen will be
  called in between syscall.Bind and syscall.Connect.

- For stream listeners that open passive stream connections,
  runtime_pollOpen will be called just after syscall.Listen.

- For datagram listeners that open datagram connections,
  runtime_pollOpen will be called just after syscall.Bind.

This is in preparation for runtime-integrated network pollster for BSD
variants.

gcpc/gcsp are used by GC in similar situation.
gcpc/gcsp are also more stable than gp->sched,
because gp->sched is mutated by entersyscall/exitsyscall
in morestack and mcall. So it has higher chances of being inconsistent.
Also, rename gcpc/gcsp to syscallpc/syscallsp.

This is the same as reverted change 12250043
with save marked as textflag 7.
The problem was that if save calls morestack,
then subsequent lessstack spoils g->sched.pc/sp.
And that bad values were remembered in g->syscallpc/sp.
Entersyscallblock had the same problem,
but it was never triggered to date.

This means that pprof will no longer report profiles on OS X.
That's unfortunate, but the profiles were often wrong and, worse,
it was difficult to tell whether the profile was wrong or not.

The workarounds were making the scheduler more complex,
possibly caused a deadlock (see issue 5519), and did not actually
deliver reliable results.

It may be possible for adventurous users to apply a patch to
their kernels to get working results, or perhaps having no results
will encourage someone to do the work of creating a profiling
thread like on Windows. Issue 6047 has details.
