777bca5e20 Add some documentation of FreeBSD's special synchronization quirks 
which may surprise developers coming from Solaris, or other platforms
which have a similar interface, but slightly different rules.

57cf955171 Add text describing the new type parameter, and rename description 
to name as that is what it is called in mutex.h.

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did 
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

16bef91c0a Fixed wrong include in synopsis. <sys/param.h> is a prerequisite for 
<sys/mutex.h> due to #include spam in <sys/mutex.h>.  (More precisely,
<sys/time.h> is the prerequisite, but that is provided by standard
#include spam in <sys/param.h>.)

Fixed bitrot in prototype for mtx_init().

d1c1b8413e Remove MUTEX_DECLARE() and MTX_COLD. Instead, postpone full mutex 
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.

4f1249a812 Huge improvement to the mutex man page. 
o Document all the mutex calls, not just the entry and exit.

o Fix the mtx_t typedef (now is struct mtx).

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).
