Looks reasonable. I tested it on x86-64 by disabling that section and it
works.

FWIW, In a heavily spinlock-contending workload it's a tad slower, largely due
to to loosing spin_delay. If I define that it's very close. Not that it
matters hugely, I just thought it'd be good to validate.

I wonder if it's worth keeing the full copy of this in the arm section? We
could just define SPIN_DELAY() for aarch64?

Greetings,
