16bef91c0a Fixed wrong include in synopsis. <sys/param.h> is a prerequisite for
<sys/mutex.h> due to #include spam in <sys/mutex.h>.  (More precisely,
<sys/time.h> is the prerequisite, but that is provided by standard
#include spam in <sys/param.h>.)

Fixed bitrot in prototype for mtx_init().

ad84c9eb36 - Both <sys/sx.h> and <sys/mutex.h> depend on <sys/types.h> and
<sys/lock.h>.
- <sys/sx.h> depends on <sys/mutex.h>.

d1c1b8413e Remove MUTEX_DECLARE() and MTX_COLD. Instead, postpone full mutex
initialization until after malloc() is safe to call, then iterate through
all mutexes and complete their initialization.

This change is necessary in order to avoid some circular bootstrapping
dependencies.

4f1249a812 Huge improvement to the mutex man page.
o Document all the mutex calls, not just the entry and exit.

o Fix the mtx_t typedef (now is struct mtx).

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).
