33 * This synchronisation object sequencializes all concurrent read or write accesses to a
34 * shared object located in any cluster, made by any thread(s) running in any cluster.
[603]35 * It uses a busy waiting policy when the lock is taken by another thread, and should
[563]36 * be used ro execute very short actions, such as basic allocators, or to protect 
37 * higher level synchronisation objects, such as remote_queuelock and remote_rwlock.
[603]38 *
[563]39 * WARNING: a thread cannot yield when it is owning a busylock (local or remote).
40 *
41 * - To acquire the lock, we use a ticket policy to avoid starvation: the calling thread
42 *   makes an atomic increment on a "ticket" allocator, and keep polling the "current"
43 *   value  until current == ticket.
44
45 * - To release the lock, the owner thread increments the "current" value,
46 *   decrements its busylocks counter.
47 *
[603]48 * - When a thread takes a busylock, it enters a critical section: the busylock_acquire()
[563]49 *   function disables the IRQs, takes the lock, increments the thread busylocks counter,
[603]50 *    save the SR in the lock descriptor and returns.
[563]51 *
[603]52 * - The busylock_release() function decrements the thread busylock counter,
53 *   restores the SR to exit the critical section, and returns
[563]54 *
55 * - If a thread owning a busylock (local or remote) tries to deschedule, the scheduler
56 *   signals a kernel panic.
