 * If we have no memory barrier implementation for this architecture, we

 * fall back to the semaphore-based spinlock implementation, which will be
 * amazingly slow.
 *
 * It's not self-evident that every possible legal implementation of a
 * spinlock acquire-and-release would be equivalent to a full memory barrier.
 * For example, I'm not sure that Itanium's acq and rel add up to a full
 * fence.  But all of our actual implementations seem OK in this regard.
