Subject: Introduce simple "mutex" locking code.
X-Git-Tag: rel-0.6.0~26
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9086652b3901df4ff29bdd5eb095d0e3b8c349a;p=seabios.git

Introduce simple "mutex" locking code.

Locks are not normally necessary because SeaBIOS uses a cooperative
multitasking system.  However, occasionally it is necessary to be able
to lock a resource across yield calls.  This patch introduces a simple
mechanism for doing that.
