On SMP configurations, it is a fatal error to call blocking operating
system with interrupts disabled, since this prevents delivery of
inter-processor interrupts. This could lead to executing threads which
are not allowed to execute resulting in undefined behaviour.
The ARM Cortex-M port has a similar problem, since the interrupt state
is not a part of the thread context.
Update #2811.

Avoid the SMP_FATAL_SCHEDULER_WITHOUT_PROCESSORS fatal error and make it
a run-time error in rtems_scheduler_ident() and _Scheduler_Get_by_id().

Clustered/partitioned scheduling helps to control the worst-case
latencies in the system. The goal is to reduce the amount of shared
state in the system and thus prevention of lock contention. Modern
multi-processor systems tend to have several layers of data and
instruction caches. With clustered/partitioned scheduling it is
possible to honour the cache topology of a system and thus avoid
expensive cache synchronization traffic.
We have clustered scheduling in case the set of processors of a system
is partitioned into non-empty pairwise-disjoint subsets. These subsets
are called clusters. Clusters with a cardinality of one are partitions.
Each cluster is owned by exactly one scheduler instance.
