    nvmm: Port to DragonFly #20: preemption & critical section
    
    In DragonFly, a normal kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU or be
    preempted (except by an interrupt thread), so kpreempt_{disable,enable}()
    are not needed.  However, we can't use critical section as an instead,
    because that would also prevent interrupt/reschedule flags from being
    set, which would be a problem for nvmm_return_needed() that's called from
    vcpu_run() loop.  (credit to Matt Dillon)
    
    Port nvmm_return_needed() to DragonFly.  But note that the
    *_resched_wanted() functions cannot be used in critical sections, which
    would prevent the relevant flags from being set.  (credit to Matt Dillon)
    
    Port splhigh()/splx() as critical sections in DragonFly for the moment.
    Don't worry about it unless we have issues with it later.
