Now that the ktrace_enter() code is using atomics, the non-power-of-2
buffer sizes - which require modulus operations to get the index - are
showing up as using substantial CPU in the profiles.
Force the buffer sizes to be rounded up to the nearest power of two and
use masking rather than modulus operations to convert the index counter to
the buffer index. This reduces ktrace_enter overhead to 8% of a CPU time,
and again almost halves the trace intensive test runtime.

ktrace_enter() is consuming vast amounts of CPU time due to the use of a
single global lock for protecting buffer index increments. Change it to
use per-buffer atomic counters - this reduces ktrace_enter() overhead
during a trace intensive test on a 4p machine from 58% of all CPU time to
12% and halves test runtime.

This converts the final 20 DEFINE_SPINLOCK holdouts. (another 580 places
are already using DEFINE_SPINLOCK). Build tested on x86.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
