7ab37af1ed - Add a new process flag P_NOLOAD that marks a process that should be
ignored during load average calcuations.
- Set this flag for the idle processes and the softinterrupt process.

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).
