Upon popular request, added a variant of the ticket spinlock
with trylock support. This is pending additional verification
on other architectures besides x86*. It is still unclear whether
this implementation will be the default as it is has slower
fast path.
Add trylock support to the ck_spinlock validation tests.
It currently only tests ck_spinlock_ticket_t trylock
functionality if available.
Moved rdtsc and affinity logic to a single file which other
regression tests use. Single point of reference will ease
porting these to future architectures and platforms. Removed
invalid Copyright statement.
Added CK_CC_USED to force some code generation that I found
useful for debugging.
Added ck_stack latency tests and a modified version of djoseph's
modifications to benchmark.h for spinlock latency tests.
