  Log:
  Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather
  than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
  - Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
    determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
    preempted to directly.  If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
    thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
    false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue.  If the thread
    should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
    section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
    to the run queue.  Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
    thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
    When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
    then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
  - Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
    setrunqueue() now does all the correct work.  This also removes the
    do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
  - Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
    supports native preemption.
  - Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
    chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
    the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
  - Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
    architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
  - Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
    preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
  
  This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
  except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
  avoid the run queues completely when preempting.
