Can we please pick a unique name whose meaning will not change over 
time?  Even "andre[wa]_rw_lock" would be better, because its meaning is 
not tied to performance at this specific point in time, on today's ia32 
flavor-of-the-month.

If we discover even-yet-faster read-write spinlocks tomorrow, this name 
is going to become a joke :)

	Jeff
