7  * The MCS lock (proposed by Mellor-Crummey and Scott) is a simple spin-lock
8  * with the desirable properties of being fair, and with each cpu trying
9  * to acquire the lock spinning on a local variable.
10  * It avoids expensive cache bouncings that common test-and-set spin-lock
11  * implementations incur.
