- /* This is called when the initial acquisition attempt of a spin
- * lock fails. The calling convention is weird, return address
- * is in %o7 as usual but we agree with the caller to only touch
- * and use %g2 as a temporary. We are passed a ptr to the lock
- * itself in %g1, %g4 must be restored into %o7 when we return,
- * and the caller wants us to return to him at three instructions
- * previous to the call instruction which got us here. See how
- * this is used in asm/spinlock.h if what I just said confuses
- * you to no end.
