The reason this would never be true is that ideal_processor is a u8 and
THREADPROCESSORID_DEFAULT is an s32. In this case, it boils down to how
arithmetic conversions are performed before performing the comparison.
If an unsigned value has a lesser conversion rank (aka smaller size)
than the signed type being compared, then the unsigned value is promoted
to the signed value (i.e. u8 -> s32 happens before the comparison). No
sign-extension occurs here either.
An alternative phrasing:
Say we have a variable named core and it's given a value of -2.
u8 core = -2;
This becomes 254 due to the lack of sign. During integral promotion to
the signed type, this still remains as 254, and therefore the condition
will always be true, because no matter what value the u8 is given it
will never be -2 in terms of 32 bits.
Now, if one type was a s32 and one was a u32, this would be entirely
different, since they have the same bit width (and the signed type would
be converted to unsigned instead of the other way around) but would
still have its representation preserved in terms of bits, allowing the
comparison to be false in some cases, as opposed to being true all the
time.

We also get rid of two signed/unsigned comparison warnings while we're
at it.
This makes the formatting expectations more obvious (e.g. any zero padding specified
is padding that's entirely dedicated to the value being printed, not any pretty-printing
that also gets tacked on).
Verified with a hwtest and implemented based on reverse engineering.
Thread A's priority will get bumped to the highest priority among all the threads that are waiting for a mutex that A holds.
Once A releases the mutex and ownership is transferred to B, A's priority will return to normal and B's priority will be bumped.
Switch mutexes are no longer kernel objects, they are managed in userland and only use the kernel to handle the contention case.
Mutex addresses store a special flag value (0x40000000) to notify the guest code that there are still some threads waiting for the mutex to be released. This flag is updated when a thread calls ArbitrateUnlock.
