## Detailed Description

A lock that occupies a single byte.

A spin_mutex is a spin mutex that fits in a single byte. It should be used only for locking short critical sections (typically less than 20 instructions) when fairness is not an issue. If zero-initialized, the mutex is considered unheld.
