uname enhancement

[Dag-Erling Smorgrav]

The attached patch fixes two problems in linux_newuname():

 - the entire FreeBSD kernel version was being copied into
   utsname.version.  This string contains newline characters which
   Linux apps do not expect, and is often too long to fit anyway.

 - on i386, utsname.machine was always set to "i386".  Linux normally
   reports the precise CPU class it's running on (e.g. "i686" for
   Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Celeron, Xeon, Athlon, Duron etc.).  This
   causes some applications (such as BEA WebLogic Server) to fail
   because the developers never expected anyone to run their software
   on an i386.
