[patch 1/1] uml: use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS instead of PTRACE_SETOPTIONS [before 2.6.11]

In linux 2.6, PTRACE_SETOPTIONS is redefined to 0x4200, while the old 2.4
value (21) is still available as PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS.

So, if UML uses PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, an UML-kernel built on a 2.6 won't run on a
2.4 host. Hence we must use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS.

For cases when PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS does not exists (i.e. 2.4 host or archs
which miss it because they don't have a "deprecated" value), we fallback this
macro to PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.

+/* On architectures, that started to support PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD

+ * PTRACE_SETOPTIONS: linux 2.4 uses 21 while linux 2.6 uses 0x4200.
+ * For binary compatibility, 2.6 also supports the old "21", named
+ * PTRACE_OLDSETOPTION. On these architectures, UML always must use
+ * "21", to ensure the kernel runs on 2.4 and 2.6 host without
+ * recompilation. So, we use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS in UML.
+ * We also want to be able to build the kernel on 2.4, which doesn't
+ * have PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS. So, if it is missing, we declare
+ * PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to to be the same as PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.
+ *
+ * On architectures, that start to support PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD on
+ * linux 2.6, PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS never is defined, and also isn't
