Log message:
back to LockRE at least for now
They do have nice properties and it is hard to chose.
good: They have brief spins multiprocessor and they delay allocating
the kernel object until there is contention.
So they scale better under brief contention and are much cheaper to create.
bad: They are larger. (and we have to add a boolean to avoid the recursion)
bad: Prior to XP there were problems under low memory.
bad: We are less likely to remove the indirection for them.
But we have that in pthreads too.
