5 * Locked reference counts.
6 *
7 * These are different from just plain atomic refcounts in that they
8 * are atomic with respect to the spinlock that goes with them. In
9 * particular, there can be implementations that don't actually get
10 * the spinlock for the common decrement/increment operations, but they
11 * still have to check that the operation is done semantically as if
12 * the spinlock had been taken (using a cmpxchg operation that covers
13 * both the lock and the count word, or using memory transactions, for
14 * example).
