 *
 *  atomic.c defines a set of functions for performing atomic accesses on
 *  arbitrary-sized memory locations.  This design uses locks that should
 *  be fast in the uncontended case, for two reasons:
 * 
 *  1) This code must work with C programs that do not link to anything
 *     (including pthreads) and so it should not depend on any pthread
 *     functions.
 *  2) Atomic operations, rather than explicit mutexes, are most commonly used
 *     on code where contended operations are rate.
 * 
 *  To avoid needing a per-object lock, this code allocates an array of
 *  locks and hashes the object pointers to find the one that it should use.
 *  For operations that must be atomic on two locations, the lower lock is
 *  always acquired first, to avoid deadlock.
