:Now that I think about it, our msleep() is misnamed --- it should have
:been called ssleep().  There's no "m" about it.  Any objections to changing it?

    If we're gonna start throwing around different types of sleeps maybe
    we should make the names more verbose. spin_sleep(), lockmgr_sleep(),
    etc.  We don't use them so often that they'll clutter up the code and
    the longer names will make the code more readable.
