Change internal register SSP to contain curlwp insread curcpu(). This
shrinks the GENERIC by 2KB.
Add rwlock stubs (rw_enter, rw_exit, rw_tryenter).
Simplify simple lock code for uniprocessors.
Do SPL raise/lower in cpu_handle_ipi instead of simple_locks.
Use a field in the pcb itself (since it's basically free) and keep track of
what pmap "owns" a pcb (for consistency checking). use M_ZERO as appropriate.
- Reduce available SPL levels for hardware devices to none, vm, sched, high.
- Acquire kernel_lock only for interrupts at IPL_VM.
- Implement threaded soft interrupts.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
types. C99 requires that these definitions promote to (signed/unsigned)
integer the same way as the types the definition is for. And since
unsigned char/short fit into an "int" on all our archs and thus promote
to signed int, the definitions must not be unsigned.

from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
