fbe508ffba Giant is special. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways?
errr, I mean "Enumerate how the giant lock differs from other locks"

Please let me know if I missed any.  Or misrepresented any...

0929bf8e57 Add locking.9
This is supposed to be a brief overview of the locking primatives.
It is not yet complete and contains many place-holders for information
I do not know.

The locking is getting so diverse that I've lost track of it all.
We need this page to keep outselves in sync with what the primitives do.

note.. not part of the build yet.
