This iteration of the diff adds bounds checking for tk_user and moves
the usertc.c stub to every arch in libc as recommanded by deraadt@.
It also fixes a gettimeofday issue reported by cheloha@ and tb@.

Additionally, it changes struct timekeep in an incompatible way. ;-)
A userland built before the addition of tk_nclocks is very unhappy
with a kernel built afterwards.  There is no way to compile across
this.  You have to (U)pgrade from boot media to install a ftp.openbsd.org
userland, and then you can re-compile with the new diff.

I have not seen this problem and have not built a snapshot to update or go back. What do you mean by very unhappy? Can you show me the exact steps you have done?

Should we already bump major while the diff matures?

I am not a fan of this. I don't like bumping something before it is actually used. It is like an errata before a release.
