 * NOTES
 *
 *	  Currently, semaphores are used (my understanding anyway) in two
 *	  different ways:
 *		1. as mutexes on machines that don't have test-and-set (eg.
 *		   mips R3000).
 *		2. for putting processes to sleep when waiting on a lock
 *		   and waking them up when the lock is free.
 *	  The number of semaphores in (1) is fixed and those are shared
 *	  among all backends. In (2), there is 1 semaphore per process and those
 *	  are not shared with anyone else.

	 *
	 *	There is a window of a few instructions between CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS

	 *	before we are able to reset ImmediateInterruptOK.  If an interrupt
	 *	occurs then, we'll lose control, which means that the lock has been
	 *	acquired but our caller did not get a chance to record the fact.
	 *	Therefore, we only set ImmediateInterruptOK if the caller tells us
	 *	it's OK to do so, ie, the caller does not need to record acquiring
	 *	the lock.  (This is currently true for lockmanager locks, since the
	 *	process that granted us the lock did all the necessary state updates.
	 *	It's not true for SysV semaphores used to emulate spinlocks --- but
