/*
 * Big reader spinlocks provide cache-local contention-free read
 * lock acquisition in the absence of writers. This comes at the
 * cost of O(n) write lock acquisition. They were first implemented
 * in the Linux kernel by Ingo Molnar and David S. Miller around the
 * year 2000.
 *
 * This implementation is thread-agnostic which comes at the cost
 * of larger reader objects due to necessary linkage overhead. In
 * order to cut down on TLB pressure, it is recommended to allocate
 * these objects on the same page.
