A new salable FIFO fair lock...

Hello,

I was thinking more all those days about my scalable array based Lock
but the problem with it is that each element on the array
must have the same size of as the size of a cache-line, hence my 
scalable array based lock takes more memory, so i have decided to come 
with another new scalable FIFO fair lock that do not take too much 
memory and that is scalable, and you have to be smart please and have to 
know that on very small critical sections the TicketSpinlock is 2X times 
faster than my scalable FIFO fair lock, but with a little bit bigger 
critical section my scalable FIFO fair lock will have almost the same 
speed as the TicketSpinlock on a Quad Core, but will be faster when you 
will use more cores with mores threads with a little bigger critical 
section.

A scalable FIFO fair lock.

Please take a look a the test.pas Object Pascal demo inside the zipfile, 
compile and run it...
