crs f65921bc3f Refactored some platform dependent code into a new library,
lib/arch.  This should make porting easier.  Will probably
continue to refactor a little more, moving platform dependent
event handling stuff into lib/platform.

//! Mutual exclusion
/*!
A non-recursive mutual exclusion object. Only one thread at a time can
hold a lock on a mutex. Any thread that attempts to lock a locked mutex
will block until the mutex is unlocked. At that time, if any threads are
blocked, exactly one waiting thread will acquire the lock and continue
running. A thread may not lock a mutex it already owns the lock on; if
it tries it will deadlock itself.
