defined and will allow consumers, willing to provide options, file and
line to locking requests, to not worry about options redefining the
interfaces.
This is typically useful when there is the need to build another
locking interface on top of the mutex one.
The introduced functions that consumers can use are:
- mtx_lock_flags_
- mtx_unlock_flags_
- mtx_lock_spin_flags_
- mtx_unlock_spin_flags_
- mtx_assert_
- thread_lock_flags_
Spare notes:
- Likely we can get rid of all the 'INVARIANTS' specification in the
ppbus code by using the same macro as done in this patch (but this is
left to the ppbus maintainer)
- all the other locking interfaces may require a similar cleanup, where
the most notable case is sx which will allow a further cleanup of
vm_map locking facilities
- The patch should be fully compatible with older branches, thus a MFC
is previewed (infact it uses all the underlying mechanisms already
present).
