Well, it is really a quad register :)  I suppose that there is no pusha
because it is actually quite rare to use it - most compilers and programmers
carefully save the registers they use because there is too much overhead in
pushing and pulling registers you never touch.

Yes, the other benefit is on machines that support kernel threads the
threading should be a bit better than a pure userland solution.  I was
queried by some of the NetBSD developers when I committed the patch to
lwp in pkgsrc as to why it was not using pthreads...last time I tried to
make lwp use pthreads the NetBSD libpthread was missing the yield()
function (whatever it's called) but I think that is fixed now.
 
I had a bit of a poke at fixing the RPC2_Integer sizing.  Below is a diff
against 1.26 of the rpc2 code.  It builds without too many warnings, about
the only thing I am concerned about it there are a couple of places where
I have cast int's to intptr_t (this may or may not be a NetBSD specific
typedef - basically it is a integer that is guarenteed to be big enough to
hold a pointer for the architecture you are running on), I am not entirely
sure that was the correct thing to do - I _think_ it was.

Of course, this makes the coda build explode in a mess of incompatiable
pointer to int conversions and such like.  Some of them are quite easy to
fix but others, I am not so sure about - the worst I have come across so
far is Inode - it is declared as RPC2_Integer but in some cases the
inodeNumber element of VnodeDiskObjectStruct is used to store a pointer
to a PDirInode structure (coda-src/vol/dirvnode.cc is the main culprit
for this).  As I see it, the choice is either to promote inodeNumber to
a type large enough to hold a pointer or add another element to the
structure to hold the pointer to the PDirInode.  I think the latter would
be cleaner as long as it does not bork other things by changing the size of
VnodeDiskObjectStruct.  Thoughts?
