 * A reader/writer lock can be held by multiple readers at a time.
 * Or it can be exclusively held by a sole writer at a time.
 *
 * These locks are not recursive.
 * Because a technique called direct hand-off is used and because
 * waiting takes place in a single wait queue, neither readers
 * nor writers will suffer starvation.
 *
 * If there is a writer followed by a reader waiting for the rwlock
 * and the writer times out, all leading readers are automatically woken up
 * and allowed in.
