Mostly mechanical change, though threads.c needed some jiggering to
make the logical cpu id available to the worker threads.
Now render_fragment() can easily addresss per-cpu data created by
create_context().

Back in the day, there was no {create,destroy}_context(), so passing
num_cpus to just prepare_frame made sense. Modules then would
implicitly initialize themselves on the first prepare_frame() call
using a static initialized variable.
Since then things have been decomposed a bit for more sophisticated
(and cleaner) modules. It can be necessary to allocate per-cpu data
structures and the natural place to do that is @ create_context(). So
this commit wires that up.
A later commit will probably have to plumb a "current cpu" identifier
into the render_fragment() function. Because a per-cpu data structure
isn't particularly useful if you can't easily address it from within
your execution context.

Initially I was going to make 32 vs. 64 be a setting, but decided
now that SDL is supported it's fairly likely there will be odd fb
dimensions (arbitrary window sizes). Since this never really brought
anything of significant value, just drop the version that mostly
just demonstrated how to pack multiple pixels into a single u64 write
to the framebuffer more than anything else.

Just cast buf to (void *) for the pointer arithmetic, stride is in
units of bytes and no assumptions should be made about its value
such as divisability by 4.

Mechanical cosmetic change

Rather than laying out all fragments in a frame up-front in
ray_module_t.prepare_frame(), return a fragment generator
(rototiller_fragmenter_t) which produces the numbered fragment
as needed.
This removes complexity from the serially-executed
prepare_frame() and allows the individual fragments to be
computed in parallel by the different threads. It also
eliminates the need for a fragments array in the
rototiller_frame_t, indeed rototiller_frame_t is eliminated
altogether.

introduces create_context() and destroy_context() methods, and adds a
'void *context' first parameter to the module methods.
If a module doesn't supply create_context() then NULL is simply passed
around as the context, so trivial modules can continue to only implement
render_fragment().
A subsequent commit will update the modules to encapsulate their global
state in module-specific contexts.

Same basic changes as the previous commits made to julia and plasma.
|

Adding more context to the name in anticipation of adding a prepare_frame()
method to the module struct.
|
|
Make consistent with the source directory structure naming.
|
|
Restoring some organizational sanity since adopting autotools.
