People with a ich compatible soundcard which want to help out should
change the "#if 1" to a "#if 0" and try if the soundcard still works.
Reports about working or not-working soundcards with this change to

- Remove references to cpu_critical_*() as they no longer exist.
- Explain that any preemptions that occur during a critical section are
deferred until the current thread exits the section.
- Remove a bogus example usage of a critical section.
- Note that one can interlock critical sections with spin mutexes in
certain situations.

for mutual exclusion:
A brief description of the problem:
1) Proc A picks up non-blocking lock on file X
2) Proc B attempts to pickup lock, fails then waits
3) Proc C attempts to pickup lock, fails then waits
4) Proc A releases lock
5) Proc B acquires lock, release it to pickup a non-blocking version
6) Proc C acquires lock, release it to pickup a non-blocking version
7) Both process B and C race each other to pickup lock again
This occurs mainly because the processes do not keep the lock after they have
been waiting on it. They drop it, attempt to re-acquire it. (They use the wait
to notify when the lock has become available then race to pick it up). This
results in additional CPU utilization during the race, and can also result
in processes picking locks up out of order.
This change attempts to correct this problem by eliminating the test/acquire
race and having the operating system handle it.

After this change it is possible to embrace opt_*.h includes with ifdef
HAVE_KERNEL_OPTION_HEADERS. And thus, avoid editing a lot of Makefiles

Before this change a copy operation with cp(1) would not update the
file access times.
According to the POSIX mmap(2) documentation: the st_atime field
of the mapped file may be marked for update at any time between the
mmap() call and the corresponding munmap() call. The initial read
or write reference to a mapped region shall cause the file's st_atime
field to be marked for update if it has not already been marked for
update.

act with VFS conditional, based on the MPSAFE status of the file system.

o __mac_get_file

o __mac_set_fd

-Drop Giant all together in __mac_set_proc because the
