OK, tonight's mega-patch should be pretty close to the final patch.  We
had to have the Alpha fix, and I put in the other fixes that looked easy
to understand.  Most were port-specific cleanup people had posted.

If it breaks, let Marc (Oh, no, I mean the hackers list) know.

I have decided based on some thought and some discussion with Bruce to hold
off trying to get the S_LOCK backoff change into the mega-patch. While it
is a nice idea, and I even have it all coded, I would like to do some extra
testing and paw around some other code a bit as there is a possibility of it
surfacing some problems with respect to the way signals are handled.

It could I suppose be put out for people to experiment with...
