 * For machines that have test-and-set (TAS) instructions, s_lock.h/.c
 * define the spinlock implementation.  This file contains only a stub

 * is too slow to be very useful :-(

 * s_lock.h hardware-spinlock emulation using semaphores

 * We map all spinlocks onto NUM_EMULATION_SEMAPHORES semaphores.  It's okay to
 * map multiple spinlocks onto one semaphore because no process should ever
 * hold more than one at a time.  We just need enough semaphores so that we
 * aren't adding too much extra contention from that.
 *
 * There is one exception to the restriction of only holding one spinlock at a
 * time, which is that it's ok if emulated atomic operations are nested inside
 * spinlocks. To avoid the danger of spinlocks and atomic using the same sema,
 * we make sure "normal" spinlocks and atomics backed by spinlocks use
 * distinct semaphores (see the nested argument to s_init_lock_sema).
 *
 * slock_t is just an int for this implementation; it holds the spinlock
 * number from 1..NUM_EMULATION_SEMAPHORES.  We intentionally ensure that 0
 * is not a valid value, so that testing with this code can help find
 * failures to initialize spinlocks.
