- Add implementations of the critical_enter() and critical_exit() functions
and remove restore_intr() and save_intr().
- Remove the somewhat bogus disable_intr() and enable_intr() functions on
the alpha as the alpha actually uses a priority level and not simple bit
flag on the CPU.
Make the name cache hash as well as the nfsnode hash use it.
As a special tweak, create an unsigned version of register_t. This allows
us to use a special tweak for the 64 bit versions that significantly
speeds up the i386 version (ie: int64 XOR int64 is slower than int64
XOR int32).
The code layout is a little strange for the string function, but I was
able to get between 5 to 10% improvement over the original version I
started with. The layout affects gcc code generation choices and this way
was fastest on x86 and alpha.
Note that 'CPUTYPE=p3' etc makes a fair difference to this. It is
around 45% faster with -march=pentiumpro on a p6 cpu.
For UP, we were using $tmp_stk as a stack from the data section. If the
kernel text section grew beyond ~3MB, the data section would be pushed
beyond the temporary 4MB P==V mapping. This would cause the trampoline
up to high memory to fault. The hack workaround I did was to use all of
the page table pages that we already have while preparing the initial
P==V mapping, instead of just the first one.
For SMP, the AP bootstrap process suffered the same sort of problem and
got the same treatment.
MFC candidate - this breaks on 4.x just the same..

if we hold a spin mutex, since we can trivially get into deadlocks if we
start switching out of processes that hold spinlocks. Checking to see if
interrupts were disabled was a sort of cheap way of doing this since most
of the time interrupts were only disabled when holding a spin lock. At
least on the i386. To fix this properly, use a per-process counter
p_spinlocks that counts the number of spin locks currently held, and
instead of checking to see if interrupts are disabled in the witness code,
check to see if we hold any spin locks. Since child processes always
start up with the sched lock magically held in fork_exit(), we initialize
p_spinlocks to 1 for child processes. Note that proc0 doesn't go through
fork_exit(), so it starts with no spin locks held.

Debogotified the definition of aston(). aston() was defined in terms

a specified process), but aston() is the primitive.
Similar changes are needed in the ia64 versions of cpu.h and trap.c.
I didn't make them because the ia64 is missing the prerequisite changes
to make astpending and need_resched per-process and those changes are

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

problem is that a mutex lock, prior to this change, is acquired before
the curproc is set to idleproc, so we mess ourselves up by calling
the mutex lock routine with curproc == NULL.
Moving it up after the aps_ready spin-wait has us hopefully setting it
