nobody else can touch the lock while we hold it. Second, it is not

Historically, the documentation of extended asm was lacking, namely you
should NOT specify the same register as an input, and a clobber.
If the register is clobbered, it should be specified as an output as well,
e.g., by linking input and output through the "number" notation.

In versions up to egcs-1.1.1, the compiler did not even warn about it,

refuse to swallow such code.
Note, since *addr changes, it needs to be an output operand.

struct sigcontext and ucontext_t/mcontext_t are defined in such
a way that both (ie struct sigcontext and ucontext_t) can be
passed on to sigreturn. The signal handler is still given a
ucontext_t for maximum flexibility.
For backward compatibility sigreturn restores the state for the
alternate signal stack from sigcontext.sc_onstack and not from
ucontext_t.uc_stack. A good way to determine which value the
application has set and thus which value to use, is still open
for discussion.
NOTE: This change should only affect those binaries that use
sigcontext and/or ucontext_t. In the source tree itself
this is only doscmd. Recompilation is required for those
applications.
This commit also fixes a lot of style bugs without hopefully
adding new ones.
NOTE: struct sigaltstack.ss_size now has type size_t again. For
some reason I changed that into unsigned int.

-----------------------------
By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.
A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.
The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).
the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.
NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
using sc_reserved in sigcontext.
the OS does FXSAVE/FXRESTOR instructions (fast FPU save/restore) during
context switching and also enables SIMD since this enables saving the
extra CPU context that isn't saved with normal FPU regs. The other
enables the SIMD instructions to use exception 16 (FPU) error reporting.
Note, this doesn't turn on SIMD, just defines the bits.
1. Move definitions of struct i386_*_args to the header file sysarch.h,
since they are part of the sysarch API. struct i386_get_ldt_args and
i386_set_ldt_args were identical, therefore make them into one
struct i386_ldt_args. Libc should use these definitions as well.

This approach makes atomic operations from KLDs significantly
