that are linked into the kernel. The KLD compilation options are
changed to call these functions, rather than in-lining the
atomic operations.
This approach makes atomic operations from KLDs significantly
faster on UP systems (though somewhat slower on SMP systems).

Change "void *" to "volatile TYPE *", improving type safety
and eliminating some warnings (e.g., mp_machdep.c rev 1.106).
cpufunc.h:
Eliminate setbits. As defined, it's not precisely correct;
and it's redundant. (Use atomic_set_int instead.)
ipl_funcs.c:
Use atomic_set_int instead of setbits.
systm.h:
Include atomic.h.

with respect to interrupts on UP systems. (The upgrade from gcc 2.7.x
to egcs 1.1.2 produced at least one non-atomic code sequence in
swap_pager_getpages.)
In addition, the primitives are now SMP-safe, but only on SMPs. (For
portability between SMPs and UPs, modules are compiled with the SMP-safe
versions.)

Add some overflow checks to read/write (from bde).
Change all modifications to vm_page::flags, vm_page::busy, vm_object::flags
and vm_object::paging_in_progress to use operations which are not
interruptable.
