[rtl] 2.1 design questions

[yodaiken@chelm.cs.nmt.edu]

I'd like to arrange the 2.1 api to be compatible but also
convenient for smp. My current theory is that 

All the standard calls should work as previously, without a processor
parameter, except for rtl_task_init which should indicate which
processor the task will be bound to. 
There will be a compatability mode in which this call defaults to 
a #def'd RTL_DEFAULT_PROCESSOR so that older code should still work.

Comments? Objections? Is the smp api already legacy and too late to 
change?
