9 * spin_begin is used before beginning a busy-wait loop, and must be paired
10 * with spin_end when the loop is exited. spin_cpu_relax must be called
11 * within the loop.
12 *
13 * The loop body should be as small and fast as possible, on the order of
14 * tens of instructions/cycles as a guide. It should and avoid calling
15 * cpu_relax, or any "spin" or sleep type of primitive including nested uses
16 * of these primitives. It should not lock or take any other resource.
17 * Violations of these guidelies will not cause a bug, but may cause sub
18 * optimal performance.
19 *
20 * These loops are optimized to be used where wait times are expected to be
21 * less than the cost of a context switch (and associated overhead).
22 *
23 * Detection of resource owner and decision to spin or sleep or guest-yield
24 * (e.g., spin lock holder vcpu preempted, or mutex owner not on CPU) can be
25 * tested within the loop body.
