Make sure also the size is cache aligned since otherwise we may have
some overlap with the next allocation block. A cache invalidate on this
area would be fatal.
Move interrupt lock to device context and expose only this structure to
the read, write and set attributes device handler. This makes these
device handler independent of the general Termios infrastructure
suitable for direct use in printk() support.
This change starts with removing the effectively empty file
timerdrv.h. The prototypes for benchmark_timer_XXX() were in
btimer.h which was not universally used. Thus every use of
timerdrv.h had to be changed to btimer.h. Then the prototypes
for benchmark_timer_read() had to be adjusted to return
benchmark_timer_t rather than int or uint32_t.
I took this opportunity to also correct the file headers to
separate the copyright from the file description comments which
is needed to ensure the copyright isn't propagated into Doxygen
output.
Add a new low-level device API to Termios that passes the TTY structure
to the low-level device functions. This greatly simplifies the
low-level device drivers since they are no longer forced to derive their
private data from the minor number.
It makes it possible to use the TTY low-level lock in the device driver
low-level functions which is necessary for proper SMP support. For
example to set the attributes it is often necessary to perform a
read-modify-write operation on a control register used also by interrupt
routines.
A compatibility layer is provided to support device drivers using the
old callback functions so it is not necessary to modify existing device
drivers.
The thread control block contains fields that point to application
configuration dependent memory areas, like the scheduler information,
the API control blocks, the user extension context table, the RTEMS
notepads and the Newlib re-entrancy support. Account for these areas in
the configuration and avoid extra workspace allocations for these areas.
This helps also to avoid heap fragementation and reduces the per thread
memory due to a reduced heap allocation overhead.
The thread deletion is now supported on SMP.
This change fixes the following PRs:
PR1814: SMP race condition between stack free and dispatch
PR2035: psxcancel reveals NULL pointer access in _Thread_queue_Extract()
The POSIX cleanup handler are now called in the right context (should be
called in the context of the terminating thread).

Add a user extension the reflects a thread termination event. This is
used to reclaim the Newlib reentrancy structure (may use file
operations), the POSIX cleanup handlers and the POSIX key destructors.
