MI API with empty cpu_pause() functions on other arch's, but this
functionality is definitely unique to IA-32, so I decided to leave it
as i386-only and wrap it in #ifdef's. I should have dropped the cpu_
prefix when I made that decision.

Pentium 4's and newer IA32 processors. The "pause" instruction has been
verified by Intel to be a NOP on all currently existing IA32 processors
prior to the Pentium 4.

- In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set,
then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while
holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently
executing on another CPU. If it is, then we keep looping instead of
blocking.
- In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex
to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads
actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case,
we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return.
- We do not adaptively spin on Giant as Giant is held for long times and
it slows SMP systems down to a crawl (it was taking several minutes,
like 5-10 or so for my test alpha and sparc64 SMP boxes to boot up when
they adaptively spinned on Giant).
- We only compile in the code to do this for SMP kernels, it doesn't make
sense for UP kernels.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
yet. We just return without performing any checks.
- Don't explicitly enter and exit critical sections when walking lock
lists. We don't need a critical section to walk the list of sleep
locks for a thread. We check to see if a spin lock list is empty
before we walk it. If the list is empty we don't need to walk it. If
it isn't then we already hold at least one spin lock and are already in
a critical section and thus don't need our own explicit critical
section.
initialized socket with no qlimit was being passed in. In order
to handle this case properly, we must not use >= when comparing
queue sizes to qlimit. As a result of this improper handling,
a panic could result in certain cases.

o Add a mutex (sb_mtx) to struct sockbuf. This protects the data in a
socket buffer. The mutex in the receive buffer also protects the data
in struct socket.
o Determine the lock strategy for each members in struct socket.
o Lock down the following members:
- so_count
- so_options
- so_linger
- so_state
o Remove *_locked() socket APIs. Make the following socket APIs
touching the members above now require a locked socket:
- sodisconnect()
- soisconnected()
- soisconnecting()
- soisdisconnected()
- soisdisconnecting()
- sofree()
- soref()
- sorele()
- sorwakeup()
- sotryfree()
- sowakeup()

pointer instead of a proc pointer and require the process pointed to
by the second argument to be locked. We now use the thread ucred reference
for the credential checks in p_can*() as a result. p_canfoo() should now
no longer need Giant.
inter-process signalling ceased to preserve and return that value,
instead always returning EPERM. This meant that it was possible
to "probe" the pid space for processes that were not otherwise
visible. This change reverts that reversion.

on committing to these while they were in the Attic after they had been
removed. I think this was because he had the file checked out and already
'modified' while markm cvs rm'ed them, and cvs screws up when trying to
"merge" the modifications with the "rm". And after that the client
state was sufficiently hosed to keep it messed up. Yay CVS! (CVS is
very fragile for adding and removing files remotely)

Ensure that no one can fsetown() to a dying process/pgrp. We need
to check the process for P_WEXIT to see if it's exiting. Process
groups are already safe because there is no such thing as a pgrp
zombie, therefore the proctree lock completely protects the pgrp
from having sigio structures associated with it after it runs
funsetownlst.
Add sigio lock to witness list under proctree and allproc, but over
proc and pgrp.
Seigo Tanimura helped with this.
Don't try to create a vm object before the file system has a chance to finish
initializing it. This is incorrect for a number of reasons. Firstly, that
VOP requires a lock which the file system may not have initialized yet. Also,
open and others will create a vm object if it is necessary later.
killed by SIGSYS for unimlemented syscalls is bad enough.
