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 :)
