[dcmf] [PATCH] This test will repeatedly call the low-level critical-section functions for performance testing.

[Sameer Kumar]

Kaz,

      Exploring larx-stwx vs lockbox has always been on the list but hasnt
quite gotten the priority.  Doug Miller at Rochester briefly looked at it.
But, I am not sure if we have results about that.

Doug,
      Can you please clarify?

I noticed that there is a code fragment
that lwarx/stwarx is used for CriticalSection().
( sys/messaging/sysdep/prod/BGP/MutexImpl.h )
it's not used now.  Is this a plan for future release?
or just test code?

Do you have any performance comparison
between lockbox device and lwarx/stwarx instruction?
