  Log:
  A machine-independent spinlock implementation.  It has the advantages of
    1.  being written in C except for the most low-level atomic swap primitive,
          which is universally supported on current processor architectures
    2.  having a very small inlined memory footprint for spin_lock(),
          with the slow-path defered to a subroutine call
    3.  only requiring a bus-locked operation for lock acquisition,
           and not requiring a bus-locked operation for lock release
    4.  doing a non-bus-locked check first in the spin loop to
          reduce bus contention
    5.  doing exponential backoff in the uncommon contested case, which
          Sun has found to reduce bus contention by a factor of 5 or more
