need fexecve

[gdamore]

POSIX 2008 / XPG7 require fexecve(), which provides a file descriptor as its first argument, instead of a path.

Note the following considerations:

• While Linux uses /proc/$$/fd/, we cannot -- because /proc grabs locks, and attempts to make this work result in deadlock.
• So a syscall looks best
• However, we can write /proc/$$/fd/ in the uarea as the system image. This will facilitate post mortem analysis in the event of a crash.
• We should take care not to exec() the file appears to be in extended attribute space.
