thorpej eb20bbc780 Change the semantics of splsoftclock() to be like other spl*() functions,
that is priority is rasied.  Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.

This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).

XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX.  This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.

minoura 6aa085a693 Splitted out the interrupt handling code to a separate file.
Disallow getting down the interrupt level by splXX.
