This patch implements use of kvmalloc for GFP_KERNEL allocations, which
may increase performance if the allocator is able to allocate physical
memory, if kvmalloc is available as a public kernel interface (since
v4.12). Otherwise it will simply fall back to virtual memory (vmalloc).
Also fix vmem_alloc implementation which can lead to slow allocations
since the first attempt with kmalloc does not make use of the noretry
flag but tells the linux kernel to retry several times before it fails.

In the FreeBSD kernel the strdup signature is:
```
char *strdup(const char *__restrict, struct malloc_type *);
```
It's unfortunate that the developers have chosen to change
the signature of libc functions - but it's what I have to
deal with.

Move platform specific Linux headers under include/os/linux/.
Update the build system accordingly to detect the platform.
This lays some of the initial groundwork to supporting building
for other platforms.
As part of this change it was necessary to create both a user
and kernel space sys/simd.h header which can be included in
either context. No functional change, the source has been
refactored and the relevant #include's updated.
