+ * This is an implementation of the notion of "decrement a
+ * reference count, and return locked if it decremented to zero".
+ *
+ * This implementation can be used on any architecture that
+ * has a cmpxchg, and where atomic->value is an int holding
+ * the value of the atomic (i.e. the high bits aren't used
+ * for a lock or anything like that).
+ *
+ * N.B. ATOMIC_DEC_AND_LOCK gets defined in include/linux/spinlock.h
+ * if spinlocks are empty and thus atomic_dec_and_lock is defined
+ * to be atomic_dec_and_test - in that case we don't need it
+ * defined here as well.
