We will soon need to synchronise multiple CPUs in the hyp text at EL2.
The qspinlock-based locking used by the host is overkill for this purpose
and relies on the kernel's "percpu" implementation for the MCS nodes.
Implement a simple ticket locking scheme based heavily on the code removed
by commit c11090474d70 ("arm64: locking: Replace ticket lock implementation
with qspinlock").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
