   32  * A mutex is:
   33  *  - owned by a cpu.
   34  *  - non-recursive.
   35  *  - spinning.
   36  *  - not providing mutual exclusion between processes, only cpus.
   37  *  - providing interrupt blocking when necessary.
   38  *
   39  * Different mutexes can be nested, but not interleaved. This is ok:
   40  * "mtx_enter(foo); mtx_enter(bar); mtx_leave(bar); mtx_leave(foo);"
   41  * This is _not_ ok:
