+/* This implementation is similar to the one used in the Linux kernel.
+   But the kernel is byte instructions for the memory access.  This is
+   faster but unusable here.  The problem is that only 128
+   threads/processes could use the spinlock at the same time.  If (by
+   a design error in the program) a thread/process would hold the
+   spinlock for a time long enough to accumulate 128 waiting
+   processes, the next one will find a positive value in the spinlock
+   and assume it is unlocked.  We cannot accept that.  */
