* and unlock_kernel(). It is transparently dropped and reacquired
* over schedule(). It is used to protect legacy code that hasn't
* been migrated to a proper locking design yet.
*
* Note: code locked by this semaphore will only be serialized against
* other code using the same locking facility. The code guarantees that
* the task remains on the same CPU.
*
* Don't use in new code.
