    kernel - Refactor the TSC MP synchronization test
    
    * Refactor the TSC MP synchronization test.  Do not use cpusync.
      Using cpusync results in O(N x N) worth of overhead instead of
      O(N) worth of overhead.
    
      Instead, have the per-cpu threads run the test simultaneously using
      each other's data.
    
    * We synchronize to the last TSC element that was saved on each cpu.
      This probably needs a bit of work to ensure determinism, but at
      the moment its good in that it synchronizes all cores off of a
      single cache mastership change, instead of having them all compete
      for cache mastership.
    
    * Probably needs some fine tuning, at the moment I allow a slop of
      10uS which is almost certainly too much.  Note, however, that
      SMP interactions can create ~1uS latencies on particular memory
      accesses.
    
    * Solves serious issues with the old test on 64 cpu threads.
      These issues may also have been related to the ipiq fifo size
      being too small.
