>From an abstract perspective, it should be possible to replace normal
spin locks with the write version of rwlocks without correctness
issues. The implementation so far had a very small probability of not
scaling beyond 128 CPUs (which would become more significant if
aforementioned replacement was done), since the sign bit of a 32-bit
integer is being used to determine various conditions, and 129 or more
CPUs simultaneously subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS from a single lock would
cause an undetected overflow.
Therefore, the bias gets adjusted so that it can cover up to 2048
CPUs, and the lock structure gets widened to account for the unlikely
case of getting built for and run on a system with even more CPUs.
While touching this code, I also used the same .subsection approach
that was already used elsewhere to eliminate taken branches from the
fast paths.
And the output constraints of the affected asm()-s got fixed to use
"+" rather than "=".
