argument. These flags include INTR_FAST, INTR_MPSAFE, etc.
- Properly handle INTR_EXCL when it is passed in to allow an interrupt
handler to claim exclusive ownership of an interrupt thread.
- Add support for psuedo-fast interrupts on the alpha. For fast interrupts,
we don't allocate an interrupt thread; instead, during dispatching of an
interrupt, we run the handler directly instead of scheduling the thread
to run. Note that the handler is currently run without Giant and must be
MP safe. The only fast handler currently is for the sio driver.

- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

* Update drivers to the latest version of the bus interface.
The ISA drivers' use of the new resource api is minimal. Garrett has
some much cleaner drivers which should be more easily shared between
i386 and alpha. This has only been tested on cia based machines. It
should work on lca and apecs but I might have broken something.
* Support for AlphaStation 200, 250, 255, 400
* Untested support for UDB, Multia, AXPpci33 (Noname)
* Support for Personal Workstation 433a/433au, 500a/500au, 600a/600au (Miata)
* Some minor fixes and improvements to interrupt handling.
