I still think it would make sense to have back-off logic in the
spinlock contention case, but given that I haven't had time to work on
it in the last 2 years and nobody else has expressed interest in it, I
think it's time to just nuke the code.  If someone wants to work on it
later on, it's been archived often enough that the code can be dug out
if necessary.

Thanks for reminding me.
