 * spin.h
 *	   Hardware-independent implementation of spinlocks.
 *
 *
 *	The hardware-independent interface to spinlocks is defined by the
 *	typedef "slock_t" and these macros:
 *
 *	void SpinLockInit(volatile slock_t *lock)
 *		Initialize a spinlock (to the unlocked state).
 *
 *	void SpinLockAcquire(volatile slock_t *lock)
 *		Acquire a spinlock, waiting if necessary.
 *		Time out and abort() if unable to acquire the lock in a
 *		"reasonable" amount of time --- typically ~ 1 minute.
 *
 *	void SpinLockRelease(volatile slock_t *lock)
 *		Unlock a previously acquired lock.
 *
 *	bool SpinLockFree(slock_t *lock)
 *		Tests if the lock is free. Returns TRUE if free, FALSE if locked.
 *		This does *not* change the state of the lock.
 *
 *	Callers must beware that the macro argument may be evaluated multiple
 *	times!
 *
 *	CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure that loads and stores of
 *	shared memory values are not rearranged around spinlock acquire
 *	and release. This is done using the "volatile" qualifier: the C
 *	standard states that loads and stores of volatile objects cannot
 *	be rearranged *with respect to other volatile objects*. The
 *	spinlock is always written through a volatile pointer by the
 *	spinlock macros, but this is not sufficient by itself: code that
 *	protects shared data with a spinlock MUST reference that shared
 *	data through a volatile pointer.
 *
 *	Keep in mind the coding rule that spinlocks must not be held for more
 *	than a few instructions.  In particular, we assume it is not possible
 *	for a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to occur while holding a spinlock, and so
 *	it is not necessary to do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() in these macros.
 *
 *	These macros are implemented in terms of hardware-dependent macros
 *	supplied by s_lock.h.  There is not currently any extra functionality
 *	added by this header, but there has been in the past and may someday
 *	be again.
