+ * 'Generic' ticket-lock implementation.
+ *
+ * It relies on atomic_fetch_add() having well defined forward progress
+ * guarantees under contention. If your architecture cannot provide this, stick
+ * to a test-and-set lock.
+ *
+ * It also relies on atomic_fetch_add() being safe vs smp_store_release() on a
+ * sub-word of the value. This is generally true for anything LL/SC although
+ * you'd be hard pressed to find anything useful in architecture specifications
+ * about this. If your architecture cannot do this you might be better off with
+ * a test-and-set.
+ *
+ * It further assumes atomic_*_release() + atomic_*_acquire() is RCpc and hence
+ * uses atomic_fetch_add() which is RCsc to create an RCsc hot path, along with
+ * a full fence after the spin to upgrade the otherwise-RCpc
+ * atomic_cond_read_acquire().
+ *
+ * The implementation uses smp_cond_load_acquire() to spin, so if the
+ * architecture has WFE like instructions to sleep instead of poll for word
+ * modifications be sure to implement that (see ARM64 for example).
