Configurable SMP locks implementation

This patch adds an option (in cpu.h) for architecture-specific SMP locks data
types and implementation. It adds two defines CPU_USE_GENERIC_SMPLOCK_TYPES and
CPU_USE_GENERIC_SMPLOCK_CODE. If they are set to TRUE, the default
implementation is used. Otherwise, the architecture can define their own
handling.

Rationale: not all architectures have compare-and-swap directly or the
instruction set may not fit the default model for any other reason.

The default cpu.h has been also modified, as well as the files for sparc and
i386.
