I don't think of this as platform specific. And it's not much lower level than e.g. some java.util.concurrent stuff (but probably doesn't belong in that package because it's not really about concurrency). I'm looking for a proper Java SE spec'ed way to do this. So sun.misc.* won't work. I'm sure we don't want another Unsafe for people to abuse...

But naming the class and method is the smaller, easier detail. Right? ;-)

Sure. I would have thought, though, that java.util.concurrent was a natural home for this. Is there any kind of userland spinlock which is not about concurrency?
