/*
 * Specialised local-global spinlock. Can only be declared as global variables
 * to avoid overhead and keep things simple (and we don't want to start using
 * these inside dynamically allocated structures).
 *
 * "local/global locks" (lglocks) can be used to:
 *
 * - Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
 *   another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to
 *   provide very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
 * - Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
 *   very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).
 *
 * Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
 * case.
