Axe unused and invalid GD_ASTPENDING symbol.

This commit (along with one pending in sys/dev/ofw and one in sys/conf) give
us our first minimal glimpse of PowerPC support.

With this code we can get to the "mountroot>" prompt on my Apple iMac. We
can't get any further due to lack of clock and interrupt handling, among other
things. This does however mean that pmap and VM are initialising.

We're fairly dependant on OpenFirmware at this point, but I hope to add
support for other classes of firmware at a later stage.

Add a new field 'md_kernnest' to the alpha machine dependent process
structure. This field keeps track of how many levels deep we are nested
into the kernel. The nesting level is bumped at the start of a trap,
interrupt, syscall, or exception and is decremented on return. This is
used to detect the case when the kernel is returning back to a kernel
context in exception_return(). If we are returning to the kernel we need
to update the globaldata pointer register saved in the stack frame in case
we have switched CPU's between taking the initial interrupt that saved the
frame and returning. If we don't do this fixup it is possible for a CPU to
use the wrong per-cpu data. On UP systems this is not a problem, so the
code is conditional on SMP.

A count was used instead of simply checking the process status register in
the frame during exception_return() since there are critical sections at
the very start and end of a trap, exception, or interrupt from userland in
which we could trash the t7 register being used in userland. The counter
is incremented after adn before these critical sections respectively so
that we will not overwrite the saved t7 register if we are interrupted
during one of these critical sections.

- When calling prom_halt(), pass in a value telling it to actually halt
and not to randomly choose whether or not to halt or reboot depending on
whatever value happened to be in a0 when the call was made.

- While I'm at it, move a few things into mi_switch() and out of
cpu_switch(), specifically set the p_oncpu and p_lastcpu members of
proc in mi_switch(), and handle the sched_lock state change across a
context switch in mi_switch().
- Since cpu_switch() no longer handles the sched_lock state change, we
have to setup an initial state for sched_lock in fork_exit() before we
release it.

* Move exception_return to exception.s which is a more logical home for it.
* Optimise the return path for syscalls so that they only restore a minimal

A new flag in the trapframe indicates that the frame only holds partial
state. When it is necessary to perform a full state restore (e.g. after an
execve or signal), the flag is cleared to force a full restore.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no

Use genassym(1).

Revert back all the way to 1.11 - the problem was that Makefile.alpha was
out of sync.

Don't include <sys/systm.h>. It doesn't do anything, and with recent
changes it breaks building genassym.

untangle some includes and clean up for compilation cleanliness.
