andre@0: ** Description:	API to basic reader-writer lock functions of NSS.
andre@0: **	These are re-entrant reader writer locks; that is,
andre@0: **	If I hold the write lock, I can ask for it and get it again.
andre@0: **	If I hold the write lock, I can also ask for and get a read lock.
andre@0: **      I can then release the locks in any order (read or write).
andre@0: **	I must release each lock type as many times as I acquired it.
andre@0: **	Otherwise, these are normal reader/writer locks.
andre@0: **
andre@0: ** For deadlock detection, locks should be ranked, and no lock may be aquired
andre@0: ** while I hold a lock of higher rank number.
andre@0: ** If you don't want that feature, always use NSS_RWLOCK_RANK_NONE.
andre@0: ** Lock name is for debugging, and is optional (may be NULL)
