Kernel-call classes: _NTO_TRACE_KERCALLENTER, _NTO_TRACE_KERCALLEXIT, and _NTO_TRACE_KERCALLINT

These classes track kernel calls.

_NTO_TRACE_KERCALL is a pseudo-class that comprises all these classes.

The traceprinter labels for these classes are KER_CALL, KER_EXIT, and INT_CALL, followed by an uppercase version of the kernel call; the IDE labels consist of the kernel call, followed by Enter, Exit, or INT.

Note: The event type is ORed with _NTO_TRACE_KERCALL64 if the event information includes 64-bit data types. For the most part this happens when you're tracing a 64-bit process, but it's possible for a 32-bit process to call MsgDeliverEvent() with the 64-bit form of a struct sigevent (e.g., when a 64-bit client interacts with a 32-bit server). When you're doing a wide-mode trace, the kernel dumps the contents of the struct sigevent, so _NTO_TRACE_KERCALL64 would be ORed into the event type.

Most of the events in these classes correspond in a fairly obvious way to the kernel calls; some correspond to internal functions:
