The current users of brlocks won't actually cause the guest to be
paused under load. That's the part I worry about breaking. So again,
the test case can be a simple as firing up 100-1000 threads where most
of them are taking the read lock but few of them racing to take the
write lock.
It's usually pretty easy to make buggy suspend/locking implementation
deadlock when run with more than one physical cores.
