David, go for it. The code is all local in two files, and I think you
can basically change all the do{test-and-set} while(lock-is-false)
loops to:

do{test-and-set} while(lock-is-false && select ())

Pretty easy. No need to test multiple platforms. The ones where the
loop is integrated into the asm(), leave them for later.
