+ * We just do an exchange.
+
+ 2) If we want to bias towards cases where trylock succeeds, but don't
+ rule out contention:
+ * If exchange is not implemented by a CAS loop, and exchange is faster
+ than CAS, do an exchange.
+ * If exchange is implemented by a CAS loop, use a weak CAS and not an
+ exchange so we bail out after the first failed attempt to change the state.
+
+ 3) If we expect contention to be likely:
+ * If CAS always brings the cache line into an exclusive state even if the
+ spinlock is already acquired, then load the value first with
+ atomic_load_relaxed and test if lock is not acquired. Then do 2).
+
+ We assume that 2) is the common case, and that this won't be slower than
+ 1) in the common case.
+
+ We use acquire MO to synchronize-with the release MO store in
+ pthread_spin_unlock, and thus ensure that prior critical sections
+ happen-before this critical section. */
