Log Message:
ARM cpu_switchto() has been partially broken since yamt-idlelwp was merged
as its cache/tlb management smarts relied too heavily on pre-merge context-
switch behaviour. See PR kern/36548 for one manifestation of the breakage.

To address this:
 - Ditch the shadow pmap variables in the PCB (pagedir, l1vec, dacr, cstate)
   as it was too easy for them to get out of sync with the pmap.
 - Re-write (and fix) the convoluted cpuswitch.S cache/tlb ASM code in C.
   It's only slightly less efficient, but is much more readable/maintainable.
 - Document cpufuncs.cf_context_switch() as being C-callable.
 - pmap_activate() becomes a no-op if the lwp's vmspace is already active.
   (Good performance win, since pmap_activate() is now invoked on every
   context-switch, even though ARM's cpu_switchto() already does all the
   grunt work)

XXX: Some CPU-specific armXX_context_switch() implementations (arm67,
arm7tdmi, arm8) always flush the I+D caches. This should not be necessary.
Someone with access to hardware (acorn32?) needs to deal with this.
