. allocators: add static_calloc. also: documention was duplicated in
header; merge it.
. wdir_watch: fix last remaining static object init issues
. add rationale and explanations to lib_errors, wsdl, qpc, whrt.
. cpu/ia32: remove throttling detection (hacky); will be taken care of
by tsc.
. ia32: expose vendor
. wdbg_sym: add its own critical section (safer, less contention)
This was SVN commit r5114.
add update mechanism (needed to safely handle counter rollover) and
lock-free synchronization.
refactor:
. Counters now have Activate/Shutdown interface rather than throwing
exceptions from the ctor.
. whrt is responsible for caching frequency/resolution etc.
. fix counterBits handling
This was SVN commit r5105.
cpu: accessor functions ensure what they return is valid. no longer
needs to call wtime_reset_impl (ugh). uses ModuleInitState.
ia32: add APIC ID accessor and prevent redundant init
This was SVN commit r5093.
