    kernel - Fix very annoying lockup (SMP)
    
    * Fix an extremely annoying lockup that took a week+ to find.  The cpusync
      code is rather fragile and any for (;;) or while (1) style loops in the
      kernel can trip it up and cause a deadlock.  These loops are careful to
      call lwkt_process_ipiq() to ensure that cpusync processing occurs.
    
      However, there is a race in the LWKT thread migration code where a thread
      deschedules itself on one cpu and schedules itself on another via a remote
      ipi.  The target cpu expects the thread's TDF_RUNNING state to clear and
      will loop until that happens.
    
      An IPI could sneak itself into the deschedule/lwkt_switch() path and
      deadlock against a cpusync, preventing the thread from leaving the
      TDF_RUNNING state.
    
      The solution is to ensure that lwkt_process_ipiq() is *NOT* run in
      the lwkt_switch() path if the calling thread has descheduled itself.
    
    * The original bug could be reproduced by running blogbench in one window
      and a while (1) ps axl shell script in another.
    
    * Add DEBUG_PUSH_INFO(msg)/DEBUG_POP_INFO() macros which record (msg)
      in the globaldata structure as a debugging aid.
    
    * Remove unused platform/pc64/x86_64/systimer.c file.  The entire contents
      of this file was #ifdef'd out and its functionality is handled elsewhere
      by the lapic timer code.
    
    * #if 0 out numerous debugging bits but don't remove the code because it
      is extremely useful for finding lockup conditions.
