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.
