    kernel - Fix spin-based msgports
    
    * LWKT threads can use thread/IPI or spin-based message ports.  The
      default is thread-based.  Spin-based ports had numerous problems which
      would result in panics.  This commit fixes those panics and makes the
      spinlock version viable.
    
    * However, currently there is no performance improvement so the default
      is staying as it was.
