// The spin_lock.c and spin_lock.h files are part of the GIET nano-kernel.
// This  middlewre implements a user-level lock (busy waiting mechanism,
// because the GIET does not support task scheduling / descheduling).
// It is a simple binary lock, without waiting queue.
// 
// The lock_acquire() and lock_release() functions do not require a system call.
// The barrier itself must have been allocated in a non cacheable segment,
// if the platform does not provide hardwate cache coherence.
//
// ALL locks must be defined in the mapping_info data structure, 
// to be initialised by the GIET in the boot phase.
// The vobj_get_vbase() system call (defined in stdio.c and stdio.h files)
// can be used to get the virtual base address of the lock fro it's name.
