Cross processor locks just need a synchronisation primitive that works
without hardware support, say Deker's algorithm. I have used Deker to
do inter-system locks on two mainframes running under different
operating systems. The only thing they had in common was a shared disk
and the only guaranteed ordering was that single track writes would not
be interleaved, but it worked.
