the inline implementation. The impetus for this was twofold. First,
it is incorrect to have static inline prototypes when using the macro
implementation. Second, this reduced the number of lines in the include
files seen by rtems.h by about 2000 lines.
Next we restricted visibility for the inline routines to inside the
executive itself EXCEPT for a handful of objects. This reduced the
number of include files included by rtems.h by 40 files and reduced
the lines in the include files seen by rtems.h by about 6000 lines.
In total, these reduced the compile time of the entire RTEMS tree by 20%.
This results in about 8 minutes savings on the SparcStation 10 morgana.

Receive Server. As a result, the CPU Table field for extra stack for
the SYSI task was changed to be extra stack for the MPCI Receive Server.
the thread handler (IDLE), MPCI object (SYSI now MP Receive)
and initialize_executive_early (IO initialization). The SYSI task
no longer exists in a single processor configuration. This reduces
single processor Workspace requirements by a TCB and a stack which
is often larger than the minimum stack size. Moving the IO initialization
plus accompanying BSP hooks eliminated an initialization ordering problem
in which a global task could be created before the MPCI was initialized.
