/*!
 * @typedef os_unfair_lock
 *
 * @abstract
 * Low-level lock that allows waiters to block efficiently on contention.
 *
 * In general, higher level synchronization primitives such as those provided by
 * the pthread or dispatch subsystems should be preferred.
 *
 * The values stored in the lock should be considered opaque and implementation
 * defined, they contain thread ownership information that the system may use
 * to attempt to resolve priority inversions.
 *
 * This lock must be unlocked from the same thread that locked it, attempts to
 * unlock from a different thread will cause an assertion aborting the process.
 *
 * This lock must not be accessed from multiple processes or threads via shared
 * or multiply-mapped memory, the lock implementation relies on the address of
 * the lock value and owning process.
 *
 * Must be initialized with OS_UNFAIR_LOCK_INIT
 *
 * @discussion
 * Replacement for the deprecated OSSpinLock. Does not spin on contention but
 * waits in the kernel to be woken up by an unlock.
 *
 * As with OSSpinLock there is no attempt at fairness or lock ordering, e.g. an
 * unlocker can potentially immediately reacquire the lock before a woken up
 * waiter gets an opportunity to attempt to acquire the lock. This may be
 * advantageous for performance reasons, but also makes starvation of waiters a
 * possibility.
