25 Retrieves the architecture-specific spin lock alignment requirements for

28 This function retrieves the spin lock alignment requirements for optimal
29 performance on a given CPU architecture. The spin lock alignment must be a
30 power of two and is returned by this function. If there are no alignment
31 requirements, then 1 must be returned. The spin lock synchronization
32 functions must function correctly if the spin lock size and alignment values
33 returned by this function are not used at all. These values are hints to the
34 consumers of the spin lock synchronization functions to obtain optimal spin
35 lock performance.
