for texture system in advance. Patch by Martijn Berger, with some tweaks.
There was about a 10% performance improvement on OS X in my tests with the
images.blend test file. This may be less on other platforms because OS X has
particularly slow mutex locks.

allocations for trace data, avoid some virtual function calls. Only helps
a few percentages.

Also some simple OSL optimization, passing thread data pointer directly instead
of via thread local storage, and creating ustrings for attribute lookup.

rays from the OSL shader. The "shade" parameter is not supported currently, but
attributes can be retrieved from the object that was hit using the
getmessage("trace", ..) function.
As mentioned in the OSL specification, this function can't be used instead of
lighting, the main purpose is to allow shaders to "probe" nearby geometry, for
example to apply a projected texture that can be blocked by geometry, apply
more “wear” to exposed geometry, or make other ambient occlusion-like effects.

the simple renderer example in OSL does it this way."
This does not actually work: The context must not be shared between threads, but using the same context between different samples actually seems to prevent OSL from switching between shaders. The proper solution would be to ensure memory pooling works correctly.
This reverts commit 69f87e69258d6266dcb20f09f7e3d4021e663432.

accessible from the interface class (presumably because it is just the base class pointer anyway and would have to be casted). The OSLRenderServices pointer to our own implementation is now stored alongside the ShadingSystem in the kernel globals, so it can be accessed in thread_init.

* Fixes for changes in the Open Shading Langauge API from version 0.6.0: https://github.com/imageworks/OpenShadingLanguage/commit/11ce51418b45e975ace4d919a4bdd8c2001ba300
* Removed the need for ShadingSystemImpl.

modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:
