/**
 * This spin lock is a lock designed to protect VERY short sections
 * of critical code.  Threads attempting to take the lock will spin
 * forever until the lock is available, thus it is important that
 * the code protected by this lock is extremely simple and non
 * blocking. The reason for this lock is that it prevents a thread
 * from giving up a CPU core when contending for the lock.
 *  * try(SpinLock.Lock lock = spinlock.lock())
 * {
 *   // something very quick and non blocking
 * }
 * 
 * Further analysis however, shows that spin locks behave really
 * bad under heavy contention and where the number of threads
 * exceeds the number of cores, which are common scenarios for a
 * server, so this class was removed from usage, preferring
 * standard locks instead.
 * @deprecated Do not use it anymore, prefer normal locks
