Prime candidates for conversion to this interface are locks: spinlocks,
rwlocks, mutexes, etc.
a) it'd be interesting to get that done, as a proof-of-usefulness thing.
b) but this code internally uses spinlocks. Will it explode?
also list_heads and hlists. But
a) that might be a bit redundant against the custome debugging which lists
already have and
b) this code uses lists and hlists internally?
