I have a completely untested (but should work :-P) patch to convert
Alpha over to the new cpu_throw/switch conventions of passing the
threads in as arguments to the function.  The patch is at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/alpha_switch.patch  I would
appreciate it if someone could test it.  Success would be making
it to multiuser mode.  Failure would probably be panic'ing very early
after starting init since failure means context switches are broken.
