Colloquially known as "invert-fastpath".
Update verification efforts on ARM for the following seL4 changes:
- scheduling decisions done in possibleSwitchTo are moved to the
scheduler
- possibleSwitchTo only checks whether the candidate is valid for a
fast switch, not its priority, accepting possible candidates
immmediately as a switch-to scheduler action
- the scheduler checks the candidate against the current thread and
against the bitmaps before making a decision
- attemptSwitchTo and switchIfRequiredTo are gone
- scheduler is now more complicated, and numerous proofs related to it
are rewritten from scratch
- fast path now checks ready queues via the scheduler bitmaps
- L2 scheduler bitmap order reversed for better cache locality
Many iterations between the kernel and verification teams were needed
to get this right.
