/*
 * Macro for current thread, or current cpu.
 *
 * This file should only be included via <current.h> (q.v.)
 *
 * On mips we track the current thread. There's an architectural
 * issue that informs this choice: there's no easy way to find the
 * current cpu, the current thread, or even the kernel stack of the
 * current thread when entering the kernel at trap time. (On most CPUs
 * there's a canonical way to find at least the stack.)
 *
 * Therefore we do the following:
 *
 * - We misuse a kernel-settable field of a nonessential MMU register
 *   to hold the CPU number.
 *
 * - On trap entry we use this number to index an array that gets us
 *   both the kernel stack and curthread.
 *
 * - We tell the compiler not to use the s7 register and keep
 *   curthread there.
 *
 * Note that if you want to change this scheme to use a different
 * register, or change to a different scheme, you need to touch three
 * places: here, the mips-specific kernel CFLAGS in the makefiles, and
 * the trap entry and return code.
