Szabolcs Nagy 09001a8f97 add new membarrier, userfaultfd and switch_endian syscalls 
new in linux v4.3 added for aarch64, arm, i386, mips, or1k, powerpc,
x32 and x86_64.

membarrier is a system wide memory barrier, moves most of the
synchronization cost to one side, new in kernel commit
5b25b13ab08f616efd566347d809b4ece54570d1

userfaultfd is useful for qemu and is new in kernel commit
8d2afd96c20316d112e04d935d9e09150e988397

switch_endian is powerpc only for switching endianness, new in commit

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
