I suppose LWLock could include a uint16 member 'id' without making
LWLock any larger, since it would replace the padding between
'tranche' and 'state'. But I think a better solution, if anyone
really wants these T_ID numbers from a dtrace script, would be to add
lock address to the existing lwlock probes, and then figure out a way
to add some new probes to report the base and stride in the right
places so you can do the book keeping in dtrace variables.
