- Make the mutex code almost completely machine independent. This greatly

  reducues the maintenance load for the mutex code.  The only MD portions
  of the mutex code are in machine/mutex.h now, which include the assembly
  macros for handling mutexes as well as optionally overriding the mutex
  micro-operations.  For example, we use optimized micro-ops on the x86
  platform #ifndef I386_CPU.
- Change the behavior of the SMP_DEBUG kernel option.  In the new code,
  mtx_assert() only depends on INVARIANTS, allowing other kernel developers
  to have working mutex assertiions without having to include all of the
  mutex debugging code.  The SMP_DEBUG kernel option has been renamed to
  MUTEX_DEBUG and now just controls extra mutex debugging code.
- Abolish the ugly mtx_f hack.  Instead, we dynamically allocate
  seperate mtx_debug structures on the fly in mtx_init, except for mutexes
  that are initiated very early in the boot process.   These mutexes
  are declared using a special MUTEX_DECLARE() macro, and use a new
  flag MTX_COLD when calling mtx_init.  This is still somewhat hackish,
  but it is less evil than the mtx_f filler struct, and the mtx struct is
  now the same size with and without mutex debugging code.
- Add some micro-micro-operation macros for doing the actual atomic
  operations on the mutex mtx_lock field to make it easier for other archs
  to override/optimize mutex ops if needed.  These new tiny ops also clean
  up the code in some places by replacing long atomic operation function
  calls that spanned 2-3 lines with a short 1-line macro call.
- Don't call mi_switch() from mtx_enter_hard() when we block while trying
  to obtain a sleep mutex.  Calling mi_switch() would bogusly release
  Giant before switching to the next process.  Instead, inline most of the
  code from mi_switch() in the mtx_enter_hard() function.  Note that when
  we finally kill Giant we can back this out and go back to calling
  mi_switch().
