  Log:
  Implement a bio-taskqueue to reduce number of context switches in
  disk I/O processing.
  
          The intent is that the disk driver in its hardware interrupt
          routine will simply schedule the bio on the task queue with
          a routine to finish off whatever needs done.
  
          The g_up thread will then schedule this routine, the likely
          outcome of which is a biodone() which queues the bio on
          g_up's regular queue where it will be picked up and processed.
  
          Compared to the using the regular taskqueue, this saves one
          contextswitch.
  
  Change our scheduling of the g_up and g_down queues to be water-tight,
  at the cost of breaking the userland regression test-shims.
