 * Read-write spinlocks, allowing multiple readers but only one writer.
 * The spinlock is held by the writer, preventing any readers or other
 * writers from grabbing the rwlock.  Readers use the lock to serialise their
 * access to the counter (which records how many readers currently hold the
 * lock).  Linux rwlocks are unfair to writers; they can be starved for
 * an indefinite time by readers.  They can also be taken in interrupt context,
 * so we have to disable interrupts when acquiring the spin lock to be sure
 * that an interrupting reader doesn't get an inconsistent view of the lock.
