 * spin.c
 *     Hardware-independent implementation of spinlocks.
 *
 *
 * For machines that have test-and-set (TAS) instructions, s_lock.h/.c
 * define the spinlock implementation.  This file contains only a stub
 * implementation for spinlocks using PGSemaphores.  Unless semaphores
 * are implemented in a way that doesn't involve a kernel call, this
 * is too slow to be very useful :-(
