Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/arch/i386/include [newlock]: lock.h

Log Message:
* Add a memory clobber to the atomic operations in the lock-acquire
  path, so that the compiler will treat them as a memory access barrier.
* Spin with a normal memory load until the lock is released and then
  retry the compare-and-swap in __cpu_simple_lock().
