I believe the number of CPUs is more important. But as this is an
ultrabook, I doubt that is very high.

Now I know this isn't going to be popular, but I'll suggest it anyway.
What about only implementing the lockref locking when CPUs are greater
than 7, 7 or less will still use the normal optimized spinlocks.
