As part of the merge of MULTIPROCESSOR support, I have committed
the new scheduler locking protocol to -current.  The new protocol is:

	* mi_switch() must be called at splhigh() and with the
	  sched_lock held.

	* mi_switch() calls cpu_switch() at splhigh() and with
	  the sched_lock held.

	* cpu_switch() *MUST* release the sched_lock before
	  returning to mi_switch().

	* If cpu_switch() lowers interrupt priority, it *MUST*
	  first release the sched_lock.

	* In order to reacquire the sched_lock in cpu_switch(),
	  cpu_switch() *MUST* block interrupts (as it would already).

	* All platforms *MUST* manipulate the sched_lock in
	  machine dependent code as appropriate in the MULTIPROCESSOR
	  or LOCKDEBUG cases.

See the changes made to the Alpha and i386 ports for simple examples.

PORT MASTERS: If I changed your port (m68k, mips, arm26, in particular)
please make sure the changes look sane.  Note, I had to change several
m68k ports Idle/cpu_switch implementations to look like the newer hp300
version.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, please report them w/ send-pr AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Please include any relevant diagnostic information provided by the kernel,
as well as a traceback, if possible.

I have tested this directly on the alpha and i386.

Here is the relevant commit message.

Shar and enjoy.

Log Message:
Add a lock around the scheduler, and use it as necessary, including
in the non-MULTIPROCESSOR case (LOCKDEBUG requires it).  Scheduler
lock is held upon entry to mi_switch() and cpu_switch(), and
cpu_switch() releases the lock before returning.

Largely from Bill Sommerfeld, with some minor bug fixes and
machine-dependent code hacking from me.
