/**
 * General locking order to guarantee progress. Order must be observed but
 * all stages are not nescessarily obligatory. Going from 1) to 3) is
 * perfectly legal.
 *
 * 1) IRQ
 * This is first because of the likelyhood of having an interrupt occur that
 * also accesses one of the objects farther down the list. Any non-blocking
 * synchronization done may already have a lock on something during normal
 * execution and if an interrupt handler running on the same processor as
 * the one that has the resource locked were to attempt to access the
 * resource, the interrupt handler would wait forever waiting for an unlock
 * that will never happen. There is no danger if the interrupt occurs on
 * a different processor because the one that has the lock will eventually
 * unlock and the other processor's handler may proceed at that time. Not
 * nescessary when the resource in question is definitely not available to
 * interrupt handlers.
 *  
 * 2) Kernel Object
 * 1) May be needed beforehand if the kernel object allows dual-use such as
 * event queues. The kernel object must have a scheme to protect itself from
 * access by another processor and is responsible for serializing the calls
 * to block_thread(_w_tmo) and wakeup_thread both to themselves and to each
 * other. Objects' queues are also protected here.
 * 
 * 3) Thread Slot
 * This locks access to the thread's slot such that its state cannot be
 * altered by another processor when a state change is in progress such as
 * when it is in the process of going on a blocked list. An attempt to wake
 * a thread while it is still blocking will likely desync its state with
 * the other resources used for that state.
 *
 * 4) Core Lists
 * These lists are specific to a particular processor core and are accessible
 * by all processor cores and interrupt handlers. The running (rtr) list is
 * the prime example where a thread may be added by any means.
 */

/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Processor specific: core_sleep/core_wake/misc. notes
 *
 * ARM notes:
 * FIQ is not dealt with by the scheduler code and is simply restored if it
 * must by masked for some reason - because threading modifies a register
 * that FIQ may also modify and there's no way to accomplish it atomically.
 * s3c2440 is such a case.
 *
 * Audio interrupts are generally treated at a higher priority than others
 * usage of scheduler code with interrupts higher than HIGHEST_IRQ_LEVEL
 * are not in general safe. Special cases may be constructed on a per-
 * source basis and blocking operations are not available.
 *
 * core_sleep procedure to implement for any CPU to ensure an asychronous
 * wakup never results in requiring a wait until the next tick (up to
 * 10000uS!). May require assembly and careful instruction ordering.
 *
 * 1) On multicore, stay awake if directed to do so by another. If so, goto
 *    step 4.
 * 2) If processor requires, atomically reenable interrupts and perform step
 *    3.
 * 3) Sleep the CPU core. If wakeup itself enables interrupts (stop #0x2000
 *    on Coldfire) goto step 5.
 * 4) Enable interrupts.
 * 5) Exit procedure.
 *
 * core_wake and multprocessor notes for sleep/wake coordination:
 * If possible, to wake up another processor, the forcing of an interrupt on
 * the woken core by the waker core is the easiest way to ensure a non-
 * delayed wake and immediate execution of any woken threads. If that isn't
 * available then some careful non-blocking synchonization is needed (as on
 * PP targets at the moment).
