This structure is expected to be unique for different workloads,

lifetime of the lock it is associated with. It is safe to mix
adaptive calls with best-effort calls.
.Pp
Both ck_spinlock.h and ck_rwlock.h define ck_elide wrappers under
the ck_spinlock and ck_rwlock namespace, respectively.
.Sh EXAMPLES
This example utilizes built-in lock elision facilities in ck_rwlock and ck_spinlock.
