while waiting for an interrupt (rather than spinning on the runqueue status
bits), since the other cpu can put stuff in there and the sleeping cpu may
not get an interrupt for a while. When we have a reschedule IPI, this can
come back.

size in terms of lines (instead of bytes). When changing video mode
in ioctl SW_XXX commands, syscons checks scp->history_size and
allocate a history buffer at least as large as the new screen size.
(This was unnecessary before, because HISTORY_SIZE was as large as 100
lines and this is bigger than the maximum screen size: 60 lines).
Similar adjustment is done in ioctl CONS_HISTORY command too.

are met:
1) The BIOS indicates that there is exactly 64MB of RAM, and
2) The memory size isn't specified with the MAXMEM option or
the npx0 msize hack,
...then do a speculative memory probe beyond the 64MB's until the
first bad page is encountered. This is an admitted hack, but should
nonetheless deal with detecting the correct amount of memory in nearly
all of the modern systems with >64MB of RAM.
Also made a change that will cause the list of detected memory chunks
to be printed if bootverbose is set.
2) Added a non_blocking flag to the write routine.
3) Added a 3rd buffer (actually a ring buffer would be better)

it compares its own id to the holder id. If they are the same it
panic()s, as simple locks are binary, and this would cause a deadlock.

and hardware.
There is now another simple_lock around clock data/hardware accesses in
clock.c and microtime.s. It is my belief that this is the only area
sio/cy might stumble into during an unblocked INTerrupt. Thus I separated
the sio/cy code from the generic disable_intr()/enable_intr() routines.
Controlled by smptests.h: USE_COMLOCK, ON by default.
Add a simplelock to deal with disable_intr()/enable_intr() as used in UP kernel.
UP kernel expects that this is enough to guarantee exclusive access to
regions of code bracketed by these 2 functions.
Add a simplelock to bracket clock accesses in clock.c: clock_lock.
