This approach only works for old-style spinlocks. Ticketlocks also have
the problem of making sure the next vcpu gets scheduled on unlock.
Have you looked at the pv spinlocks I have upstream in the pvops
kernels, which use the (existing) poll hypercall to block the waiting
vcpu until the lock is free?
