This contains a new ticket-based spinlock that uses only generic
atomics and doesn't require as much from the memory system as qspinlock
does in order to be fair. It also includes a bit of documentation about
the qspinlock and qrwlock fairness requirements.
This will soon be used by a handful of architectures that don't meet the
qspinlock requirements.
