Current limitations:
1) On SMP single stepping has some fundamental issues,
shared with other sw single-step architectures such
as mips and arm.
2) On 32-bit sparc we don't support SMP kgdb yet. That
requires some reworking of the IPI mechanisms and
infrastructure on that platform.

Move cmpxchg and add cmpxchg_local to system.h.
Use the new generic cmpxchg_local (disables interrupt).

Added asm-sparc/irqflags.h and moved irq related code from system.h to it.
Renamed local_irq functions to raw_local_irq in irq.c.
Modified system.h to include linux/irqflags.h which includes asm/irqflags.h.
Added TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT to Kconfig.debug.
This is the first step in adding IRQ-flags state tracing as outlined in
Documentation/irqflags-tracing.txt. These changes should be harmless
because they just move things around and rename them.
The next step is making the lowlevel entry code modifications which
to be honest are beyond my capabilities at this point.
Boot tested on an ss20 running an SMP kernel.

set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.
Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
tested)

Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.
Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

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!
