At present the number of capabilities can only be *increased*, not
decreased. The latter presents a few more challenges!

Consider this experimental for the time being. There are a lot of
things that could go wrong, but I've verified that at least it works
on the test cases we have.
I also did some API cleanups while I was here. Previously we had:
Capability * rts_eval (Capability *cap, HaskellObj p, /*out*/HaskellObj *ret);
but this API is particularly error-prone: if you forget to discard the
Capability * you passed in and use the return value instead, then
you're in for subtle bugs with +RTS -N later on. So I changed all
these functions to this form:
void rts_eval (/* inout */ Capability **cap,
/* in */ HaskellObj p,
/* out */ HaskellObj *ret)
It's much harder to use this version incorrectly, because you have to
pass the Capability in by reference.

This is patch that adds support for interruptible FFI calls in the form
of a new foreign import keyword 'interruptible', which can be used
instead of 'safe' or 'unsafe'. Interruptible FFI calls act like safe
FFI calls, except that the worker thread they run on may be interrupted.
Internally, it replaces BlockedOnCCall_NoUnblockEx with
BlockedOnCCall_Interruptible, and changes the behavior of the RTS
to not modify the TSO_ flags on the event of an FFI call from
a thread that was interruptible. It also modifies the bytecode
format for foreign call, adding an extra Word16 to indicate
interruptibility.
The semantics of interruption vary from platform to platform, but the
intent is that any blocking system calls are aborted with an error code.
This is most useful for making function calls to system library
functions that support interrupting. There is no support for pre-Vista
Windows.
There is a partner testsuite patch which adds several tests for this
functionality.

I've updated the wiki page about the RTS headers
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/SourceTree/Includes
to reflect the new layout and explain some of the rationale. All the
header files now point to this page.

The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in
particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need
to, and no more.
- Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly,
rather than a random subset of it.
- Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and
many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to
include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main
public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h.
- All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the
stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for
the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory.
- I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in
Haskell code.
- I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag
structures are now exposed by Rts.h.
- Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files.
- Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed
- More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more
warning-clean.
- More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use
standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces.
There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first
pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs
(e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs
as hidden for shared libraries.
