We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

Loading ELF binaries based on the section table is totally wrong. This
still leaves the other fat bug of referencing symbols in an executable
unfixed, so people better don't run strip on their binaries ...
As added bonus the new loader is also 23 lines shorter.

-msym32 and previously the strategy to tell the compiler to generate
64-bit code but the assembler to put it into 32-bit ELF was initially
a hack to get around the lack of proper 64-bit binutils support and
later turned into a neat optimization with significant code size
savings. But it's really just an optimization so there is nothing
wrong with just dropping the option (and whatever else goes along with
it, I forgot all the nasty details) on the floor if due to a vintage
compiler it can't be suported.

The kernel currently only supports broadcasting of the timer interrupt
from a single timer, not multicasting into two multicast groups of
processors. So the implemented mechanism for SMTC works by broadcasting
the cp0 compare interrupt on VPE 0 and ignoring it on any additional VPEs.

This replaces the MIPS-specific to_tm function with the generic
rtc_time_to_tm function. The big difference between the two functions is
that rtc_time_to_tm uses epoch 70 while to_tm uses 1970, so the result of
rtc_time_to_tm needs to be fixed up.
