- If possible, context switch to the thread directly in sched_ithd(),
rather than triggering a delayed ast reschedule.
- Disable interrupts while restoring fpu state in the trap handler,
in order to ensure that we are not preempted in the middle, which
could cause migration to another cpu.

initialization until after malloc() is safe to call, then iterate through
all mutexes and complete their initialization.
This change is necessary in order to avoid some circular bootstrapping
dependencies.
All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include
the MTX_RECURSE bit in the flag argument variable. This change is in
preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared
in the architecture-specific code, all of the network card driver locks
in pci/, as well as some other locks in dev/ stuff that I've found to
be recursive.

time I tinkered around here. Since INTREN is called from the interrupt
critical path now, it should not be too expensive. In this case, we
look at the bits being changed to decide which 8 bit IO port to write to
rather than unconditionally writing to both. I could probably have gone
further and only done the write if the bits actually changed, but that
seemed overkill for the usual case in interrupt threads.
[an outb is rather expensive when it has to cross the ISA bus]

modules to be portable between uni-processor and multi-processor
kernels. It is no longer necessary to jump through hoops.
- always load %fs with the private segment on entry to the kernel
- change the type of the self referntial pointer from struct privatespace
to struct globaldata
- make the globaldata symbol have value 0 in all cases, so the symbols
in globals.s are always offsets, not aliases for fields in globaldata
- define the globaldata space used for uniprocessor kernels in C, rather
than assembler
- change the assmebly language accessors to use %fs, add a macro
PCPU_ADDR(member, reg), which loads the register reg with the address
of the per-cpu variable member

checks, but that will change)
Add detach routine and turn driver into a module so it can be loaded

where member is the capitalized name of the per-cpu variable, without
the gd_ prefix. Example: movl %eax,PCPU(CURPROC). The capitalization
is due to using the offsets generated by genassym rather than the symbols
provided by linking with globals.o. asmacros.h is the wrong place for
this but it seemed as good a place as any for now. The old implementation
in asnames.h has not been removed because it is still used to de-mangle
the symbols used by the C variables for the UP case.
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)
