Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+For general info : README.

+==============================================================
+
+This path is binary emulation relevant aka personality types aka abi.
+When a process is executed, it's linked to an exec_domain whose
+personality is defined using values available from /proc/sys/abi.
+You can find further details about abi in include/linux/personality.h.
