* Introduced flag "invoke_scheduler" in the per CPU structure. It is
evaluated in hardware_interrupt() (x86 only ATM).
* Introduced SMP_MSG_RESCHEDULE_IF_IDLE message, which enters the
scheduler when the CPU currently runs an idle thread.
* Don't do dprintf() "CPU x halted!" when handling a SMP_MSG_CPU_HALT
ICI message. It uses nested spinlocks and could thus potentially
deadlock itself (acquire_spinlock() processes ICI messages, so it
could already hold one of the locks). This is a pretty likely scenario
on machines with more than two CPUs, but is also possible when the
panic()ing thread holds the threads spinlock. Probably fixes#2572.
* Reworked the way the kernel debugger is entered and added a "cpu"
command that allows switching the CPU once in KDL. It is thus possible
to get a stack trace of the thread not on the panic()ing CPU.
* When a thread is added to the run queue, we do now check, if another
CPU is idle and ask it to reschedule, if it is. Before this change, the
CPU was continuing to idle until the quantum of the idle thread
expired. Speeds up the libbe.so build about 8% on my machine (haven't
tested the full Haiku image build yet).
* When spinlock debugging is enabled (DEBUG_SPINLOCKS) we also record
the spinlock acquirer on non-smp machines. Added "spinlock" debugger
command to get the info.
* Added debugger commands "ici" and "ici_message", printing info on
pending ICI message respectively on a given one.
* Process not only a single ICI message in acquire_spinlock() and other
places, but all pending ones.
* Also process ICI messages when waiting for a free one -- avoids a
potential deadlock.
* Mask out non-existing CPUs in send_multicast_ici(). panic() instead of
just returning when there's no target CPU left.

* Added smp_send_multicast_ici(), which sends the message to all CPUs
specified via a mask.

B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.

Basically, there was a pretty subtle race between the cpus in main where if the main cpu released the AP cpus and then before the AP cpus had a chance to run the boot cpu started creating the main thread (which causes smp ici messages to be created) the system would livelock, where the boot cpu waited forever for the AP cpu to acknowledge the ICI (for a TLB flush when creating the kernel stack).
Added smp_cpu_rendezvous(), used to synchronize all the cpus to a particular point, and used it a few times in main().
While i was at it i fixed another race that'll probably never happen, but what the hey. Make sure the kernel args are copied into kernel space by the main cpu before letting any other ones use it.

kernel TLBs from being flushed on context switch.
* new arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate() that now does what arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate()
did before.
* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() will now flush all TLBs, even those from the
kernel.
* some cleanups.

The "data_ptr" parameter is now only freed if you specify SMP_MSG_FLAG_FREE_ARG
when sending the ICI message.

Extracted scheduler_init() from start_scheduler() (which is now called scheduler_start()).
Moved scheduler related function prototypes from thread.h to the new scheduler.h.
Cleanup.

some broken C++ export definitions, added missing licenses etc.
