The above comment aside, we might end up disabling lock elision on *all*
the architectures that support it due to fears of broken software in the
wild that violates pthread double-unlock rules, something only coming to
light recently due to ppc64el/s390x users being very much in a minority,
and x86 users only starting to see the issues as they refresh to
hardware new enough to support hardware lock elision.
