- * There is another issue.  Because we play games to save cycles
- * in the non-contention case, we need to be extra careful about
- * branch targets into the "spinning" code.  They live in their
- * own section, but the newer V9 branches have a shorter range
- * than the traditional 32-bit sparc branch variants.  The rule
- * is that the branches that go into and out of the spinner sections
- * must be pre-V9 branches.
