<content type='text'>
When a process changes CPUs while doing the non atomic cpu_local_*
operations it might operate on the local_t of a different CPUs.

Fix that by disabling preemption.

local_t's were defined to be unsigned.  This increases confusion because
atomic_t's are signed.  The patch goes through and changes all implementations
to use signed longs throughout.

Also, x86-64 was using 32-bit quantities for the value passed into local_add()
and local_sub().  Fixed.

All (actually, both) existing users have been audited.

(Also s/__inline__/inline/ in x86_64/local.h)

local_t is actually a win over atomic_t because it does not need lock
prefixes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
