Module Name:    src
Committed By:   ad

Modified Files:
        src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64: lock_stubs.S
        src/sys/arch/i386/i386: lock_stubs.S

Log Message:
For this case during build.sh:

        rw_enter(lock, RW_READ);

Having instrumented it, it turns out that >99.5% of the time the lock is
completely unknowned.  Make this assumption in the assembly stub for
rw_enter(), and avoid the initial read of the lock word.  Where there are
existing read holds, we'll do an additional CMPXCHG but should already have
the cache line in the EXCLUSIVE state.
