Log:
  Fix final bugs in memory barriers on PowerPC:
  - Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
    guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
    of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
  - Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
    problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
    penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
    operations would.
  - Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
    cpu_switchin().
