Hi,

        I'm working on porting the Linux Cisco VPN client kernel module to
FreeBSD.  The API interface between the OS and their actual driver has four
spinlock functions that operate around a handle (void *) to a ``critical
section'':

                CNI_free_spin_lock
                CNI_new_spin_lock
                CNI_spin_lock
                CNI_spin_unlock

        Funnily enough, these wrap the Linux spinlock_t/spin_lock*()
functionality quite nicely.  Does the FreeBSD kernel offer such a trivial
spinlock facility?  If not, could anyone suggest what type of locking
mechanism would best be used?

        Regards,

                Trent.
