4d4b0c5a07 In queue_wait_w_tmo, guarantee wait duration
It is possible to have a thread awoken and subsequently the message
that was placed in the queue has been removed by the time the thread
is able to check the queue. Ensure theads that failed to find a
message do not return prematurely.

It was at worst imprecise when a timeout is specified. It's entirely
incorrect if the function ever returns with SYS_TIMEOUT when using
TIMEOUT_BLOCK.

5b08f1a5b9 Remove I/O priority. It is harmful when used with the new file code.
HAVE_IO_PRIORITY was defined for native targets with dircache.

It is already effectively disabled for the most part since dircache no
longer lowers its thread's I/O priority. It existed primarily for the
aforementioned configuration.

6ed00870ab Base scheduler queues off linked lists and do cleanup/consolidation
Abstracts threading from itself a bit, changes the way its queues are
handled and does type hiding for that as well.

Do alot here due to already required major brain surgery.

Threads may now be on a run queue and a wait queue simultaneously so
that the expired timer only has to wake the thread but not remove it
from the wait queue which simplifies the implicit wake handling.

List formats change for wait queues-- doubly-linked, not circular.
Timeout queue is now singly-linked. The run queue is still circular
as before.

Adds a better thread slot allocator that may keep the slot marked as
used regardless of the thread state. Assists in dumping special tasks
that switch_thread was tasked to perform (blocking tasks).

Deletes alot of code yet surprisingly, gets larger than expected.
Well, I'm not not minding that for the time being-- omlettes and break
a few eggs and all that.

981d028c09 Do some kernel cleanup
* Seal away private thread and kernel definitions and declarations
into the internal headers in order to better hide internal structure.

* Add a thread-common.c file that keeps shared functions together.
List functions aren't messed with since that's about to be changed to
different ones.

* It is necessary to modify some ARM/PP stuff since GCC was complaining
about constant pool distance and I would rather not force dump it. Just
bl the cache calls in the startup and exit code and let it use veneers
if it must.

* Clean up redundant #includes in relevant areas and reorganize them.

* Expunge useless and dangerous stuff like remove_thread().

382d1861af kernel: Break out kernel primitives into separate files and move to separate dir.
No code changed, just shuffling stuff around. This should make it easier to
build only select parts kernel and use different implementations.
