Changes as of 10/13.

>Description:

Two changes were made on 10/13. Both are wrong from the respect
that there *is* no intr_nesting_level on alpha. If you need to know
whether you're running at interrupt level, invent a macro like
servicing_interrupt(), put it into <machine/interrupt.h> for both
i386 and alpha. If you can't figure out how to fix alpha, ask somebody
to help, or always have it be a constant TRUE so the M_NOWAIT option
is selected.

Secondly, in vinumhdr.h, the output of the conditional of whether you're 
servicing an interrupt should M_NOWAIT specifically- not just an inferred
'1' from a truth test.
