Ok... I've read it. The sections on interrupts and critical sections
are fully compatible with my patch. The one section... basically
the last sentence of the last paragraph, is exactly the piece that
my patch cleans up and makes more flexible. Instead of requiring that
cpu_critical_*() always be used for the initial critical_enter() my
patch makes it optional, and for I386 I use that flexibility to allow
critical_*() to NOT have to call cpu_critical_*().
