spinlock implementation with something virtualization-friendly
(for example, block the virtual CPU rather than spinning).
- Unfortunately the downside is an up to 5% performance hit on
- native kernels, with various workloads.
+ It has a minimal impact on native kernels and gives a nice performance
+ benefit on paravirtualized KVM / Xen kernels.
