    SPARC mutex assembler: patches & new code

    If the file gets attached, it is a patch file to enable
    mutex (atomic operation) sparc assembler code for sparc-v9/linux systems for
    testing, along with
    a new source file for src/IceUtil to implement these operations. As described in the
    Comments/Ice-for-non-intel... thread, the code is taken from the linux sparc64 kernel
    code, and seems to work with Ice.

    The new library function is created as a patch to an empty file
    src/IceUtil/IceAtomic.c

    This code will not work on systems before sparc-v9. It uses instructions they don't have.

    This code as written will not work inlined.

    This code is untried on solaris, but, as they say, it should work.
