  Modified files:
    sys/i386/include     globaldata.h 
    sys/i386/i386        genassym.c globals.s simplelock.s 
                         mplock.s 
  Log:
  Change simple lock handling to not depend upon having a local apic
  available.  The per-cpu variable ss_tpr has been replaced by ss_eflags.
  This reduced the number of interrupts sent to the wrong CPU, due to
  the cpu having the global lock being inside a critical region.
  
  Remove some unneeded manipulation of tpr register in mplock.s.
  
  Adjust code in mplock.s to be aware of variables on the stack being
  destroyed by MPgetlock if GRAB_LOPRIO is defined.
