Naming:
- ple is the x86 name, but this is common code. I'd call it spin_loop.
- cpu_relax_intercepted: can call it in_spin_loop, the original name can
me "are we intercepting cpu_relax or not" which may be useful at one
point (when we know we aren't overcommitted)
- dy_eligible: I'd like to understand the algorithm more and would want
the name to reflect it, will come to this later if I have a better idea.
