with the function name passed to be used as a thread name. Leaving
the trailing _thread is just redundant so just strip it this
make the thread names far more readable.
Use a strncpy in spl-mutex just to be safe.

- Replacing all BUG_ON()'s with proper ASSERT()'s
- Using ENTRY,EXIT,GOTO, and RETURN macro to instument call paths

function just to be extra safety and paranoid.
- Rewrite the thread shim to take full advantage of the
new kernel kthread API. This greatly simplifies things.
- Add a new regression test for thread_exit() to ensure
it properly terminates a thread immediately without
allowing futher execution of the thread.

We need to use kthread_create() here for a few reasons. First
off to old kernel_thread() API functioin will be going away.
Secondly, and more importantly if I use kthread_create() we can
then properly implement a thread_exit() function which terminates
the kernel thread at any point with do_exit(). This fixes our
cleanup bug which was caused by dropping a mutex twice after
thread_exit() didn't really exit.

Add sloopy atomic declaration which will need to be fixed (eventually)

muck with #includes in existing Solaris style source to get it
to find the right stuff.

We've dropped all the linux- prefixes on the file in favor of spl-
which makes more sense. And we've cleaned up some of the includes
so everybody should be including their own dependencies properly.
All a module which wants to use the spl support needs to do in
include spl.h and ensure it has access to Module.symvers.
