-/* The status field of a spinlock is a pointer whose least significant
-   bit is a locked flag.
-
-   Thus the field values have the following meanings:
-
-   status == 0:       spinlock is free
-   status == 1:       spinlock is taken; no thread is waiting on it
-
-   (status & 1) == 1: spinlock is taken and (status & ~1L) is a
-                      pointer to the first waiting thread; other
-		      waiting threads are linked via the p_nextlock
-		      field.
-   (status & 1) == 0: same as above, but spinlock is not taken.
-
-   The waiting list is not sorted by priority order.
-   Actually, we always insert at top of list (sole insertion mode
-   that can be performed without locking).
-   For __pthread_unlock, we perform a linear search in the list
-   to find the highest-priority, oldest waiting thread.
-   This is safe because there are no concurrent __pthread_unlock
-   operations -- only the thread that locked the mutex can unlock it. */

-     since the kernel does busy-waiting for short intervals in a realtime
-     process (!).  The smallest duration that guarantees thread
-     suspension is currently 2ms.
