Locking
=======
-* Add code to detect an SMP machine and handle spinlocks accordingly
- from distributted.net, http://www1.distributed.net/source,
- in client/common/cpucheck.cpp
-
- On SMP machines, it is possible that locks might be released shortly,
- while on non-SMP machines, the backend should sleep so the process
- holding the lock can complete and release it.
-
* Fix priority ordering of read and write light-weight locks (Neil)
