On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations.  But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).

We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.

Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

They contain 64-bit instructions so wouldn't work on 32-bit kernels or
32-bit hardware.  Since there are no users, blow them away.  They
probably were only ever created because there are atomic_sub_if_positive
and atomic_dec_if_positive which exist only for sake of semaphores.

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!
