  * 80386 we must use simple test-and-set exclusive locks instead.  We
  * determine which kind of lock to use by trying to execute a "cmpxchg"
  * instruction and catching the SIGILL which results on the 80386.
- *
- * These are spinlocks.  When spinning we call nanosleep() for 1
- * microsecond each time around the loop.  This will most likely yield
- * the CPU to other threads (including, we hope, the lockholder) allowing
- * them to make some progress.
