Log Message:
Reimpliment the preempt() handling from 4.0 SA. This time, however,
do it better. Since every call to preempt() set the "more" paremeter
to true except for one, leave preempt alone and add code to
explicitly handle what preempt() did w/ "more" set to false.

The one case in question is in sys_sched_yield(). Explicitly trigger
generating a BLOCKED upcall, which will also trigger an UNBLOCKED
upcall when we actually return to userland. This will sufficiently
rattle the libpthread scheduler as to let opther threads run.

This is a minor ABI change in that we now always generate the upcalls,
where as in 4.0 we only generated them iff mi_switch() switched us
to another thread. Since userland threads are what matter for an SA
process, I don't think that will hurt us.
