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).
