User a 32-bit word for all non-preemptive section flags.
Set the "please yield soon" flag atomically when
accessing it on remotely-scheduled tasks.

As Glenn pointed out, it is useful for some protocols (e.g.,
k-exclusion protocols) to know the userspace configuration at object
creation time. This patch changes the fdso API to pass the parameter
to the object constructor, which is then in turn passed to the lock
allocater. The return code from the lock allocater is passed to
userspace in return.
This also fixes some null pointer dereferences in the FDSO code found
by the test suite in liblitmus.

As the number of supported locking protocols is expected to rise,
hard-coding things like priority inheritance in the plugin interface
doesn't scale. Instead, use a new generic lock-ops approach. With this
approach, each plugin can define its own protocol implementation (or
use a generic one), and plugins can support multiple protocols without
having to change the plugin interface for each protocol.

To date, Litmus has just hooked into the smp_send_reschedule() IPI
handler and marked tasks as having to reschedule to implement remote
preemptions. This was never particularly clean, but so far we got away
with it. However, changes in the underlying Linux, and peculartities
of the ARM code (interrupts enabled before context switch) break this
naive approach. This patch introduces new state-machine based remote
preemption support. By examining the local state before calling
set_tsk_need_resched(), we avoid confusing the underlying Linux
scheduler. Further, this patch avoids sending unncessary IPIs.

The TRACE() functionality doesn't need all of litmus.h. Currently,
it's impossible to use TRACE() in sched.h due to a circular
dependency. This patch moves TRACE() and friends to
litmus/sched_debug.h, which can be included in sched.h.
While at it, also fix some minor include ugliness that was revealed by
this change.

Make use of the new per-plugin proc file infrastructure to avoid
littering the global namespace. While at it, also move all the
relevant bits to sched_cedf.c. In the future, each plugin's parameters
should be handled in the respective plugin file.

Adapt to new schema for spinlock:
(tglx 20091217)
spinlock - the weakest one, which might sleep in RT
raw_spinlock - spinlock which always spins even on RT
arch_spinlock - the hardware level architecture dependent implementation
----
Most probably, all the spinlocks changed by this commit will be true
spinning lock (raw_spinlock) in PreemptRT (so hopefully we'll need few
changes when porting Litmmus to PreemptRT).
There are a couple of spinlock that the kernel still defines as
spinlock_t (therefore no changes reported in this commit) that might cause
us troubles:
- wait_queue_t lock is defined as spinlock_t; it is used in:
* fmlp.c -- sem->wait.lock
* sync.c -- ts_release.wait.lock
- rwlock_t used in fifo implementation in sched_trace.c
* this need probably to be changed to something always spinning in RT
at the expense of increased locking time.
----
This commit also fixes warnings and errors due to the need to include
slab.h when using kmalloc() and friends.

This commit does not compile.

Improved C-EDF plugin. C-EDF now supports different cluster sizes (based
on L2 and L3 cache sharing) and supports dynamic changes of cluster size
(this requires reloading the plugin).

Dealing with preemptions across CPUs in the presence of non-preemptive
sections can be tricky and should not be replicated across (event-driven) plugins.
This patch introduces a generic preemption function that handles
non-preemptive sections (hopefully) correctly.

Port 2008.3 Core LITMUS^RT infrastructure to Linux 2.6.32
litmus_sched_class implements 4 new methods:
- prio_changed:
void
- switched_to:
void
- get_rr_interval:
return infinity (i.e., 0)
- select_task_rq:
return current cpu
