d511196c02 Don't panic for delivery of a multiplexed SWI. Most SWI handlers
don't take an arg, but swi_generic() is special in order to avoid one
whole conditional branch in the old SWI dispatch code.  The new SWI
dispatch code passed it a garbage arg.  Bypass swi_generic() and call
swi_dispatcher() directly, like the corresponding alpha code has always
done.

The panic was rare because because it only occurred if more than one
of the {sio,cy,rc} drivers was configured and one was active, and the
cy driver doesn't even compile.

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).
