* spin_begin is used before beginning a busy-wait loop, and must be paired
* with spin_end when the loop is exited. spin_cpu_relax must be called
* within the loop.
*
* The loop body should be as small and fast as possible, on the order of
* tens of instructions/cycles as a guide. It should and avoid calling
* cpu_relax, or any "spin" or sleep type of primitive including nested uses
* of these primitives. It should not lock or take any other resource.
* Violations of these guidelies will not cause a bug, but may cause sub
* optimal performance.
*
* These loops are optimized to be used where wait times are expected to be
* less than the cost of a context switch (and associated overhead).
*
* Detection of resource owner and decision to spin or sleep or guest-yield
* (e.g., spin lock holder vcpu preempted, or mutex owner not on CPU) can be
* tested within the loop body.
