MFC After: never, -STABLE does not currently use this instruction
Some things needed bits of <i386/include/lock.h> - cy.c now has its
own (only) copy of the COM_(UN)LOCK() macros, and IMASK_(UN)LOCK()
has been moved to <i386/include/apic.h> (AKA <machine/apic.h>).

non-386 atomic_load_acq(). %eax is an input since its value is used in
the cmpxchg instruction, but we don't care what value it is, so setting
it to a specific value is just wasteful. Thus, it is being used without
being initialized as the warning stated, but it is ok for it to be used
because its value isn't important. Thus, we are only sort of lying when
we say it is an output only operand.

- Remove the old gcc <= 2.8 versions of the atomic ops.
- Resort the order of some things in the file so that there is only

in most of the atomic operations. Now for these operations, you can
use the normal atomic operation, you can use the operation with a read
barrier, or you can use the operation with a write barrier. The function
names follow the same semantics used in the ia64 instruction set. An
atomic operation with a read barrier has the extra suffix 'acq', due to
it having "acquire" semantics. An atomic operation with a write barrier
has the extra suffix 'rel'. These suffixes are inserted between the
name of the operation to perform and the typename. For example, the
atomic_add_int() function now has 3 variants:
- atomic_add_int() - this is the same as the previous function
- atomic_add_acq_int() - this function combines the add operation with a
read memory barrier
- atomic_add_rel_int() - this function combines the add operation with a
write memory barrier
- Add 'ptr' to the list of types that we can perform atomic operations
on. This allows one to do atomic operations on uintptr_t's. This is
useful in the mutex code, for example, because the actual mutex lock is
a pointer.
- Add two new operations for doing loads and stores with memory barriers.
The new load operations use a read barrier before the load, and the
new store operations use a write barrier after the load. For example,
atomic_load_acq_int() will atomically load an integer as well as
enforcing a read barrier.

that are linked into the kernel. The KLD compilation options are
changed to call these functions, rather than in-lining the
atomic operations.
This approach makes atomic operations from KLDs significantly
faster on UP systems (though somewhat slower on SMP systems).

Change "void *" to "volatile TYPE *", improving type safety
and eliminating some warnings (e.g., mp_machdep.c rev 1.106).
cpufunc.h:
Eliminate setbits. As defined, it's not precisely correct;
and it's redundant. (Use atomic_set_int instead.)
ipl_funcs.c:
Use atomic_set_int instead of setbits.
systm.h:
Include atomic.h.

to egcs 1.1.2 produced at least one non-atomic code sequence in
swap_pager_getpages.)
In addition, the primitives are now SMP-safe, but only on SMPs. (For
portability between SMPs and UPs, modules are compiled with the SMP-safe
versions.)
