flag parameters: eventfd
This patch adds the new eventfd2 syscall. It extends the old eventfd
syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value. In this
patch the only flag support is EFD_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec
flag for the returned file descriptor to be set.
A new name EFD_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must
have the same value as O_CLOEXEC.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
