IP28 only locks up if spin() spans two I-cache lines. The lockup also
happens if I use a different reserved instruction and skip it via 
SIGILL handler. As I don't have a working compiler/assembler for Irix
I couldn't check, if this lockup also happens with Irix.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
