I don't know what it means exactly, except that it hear it can cause problems for BDB.
I want to run a production Zimbra instance in a Xen vm and certain people at Zimbra advice me to not do that unless it has assembly-language mutex support, since BDB uses assembly level mutex locks by default.
I was pointed to:

Hi,

I read some time ago that Xen does not have assembly-language mutex support.
Is this still the case in Xen 3.2?

best regards,
Bart.
