__cpu_simple_lock(9): New man page.

This doesn't mean you should use it!  Mostly it's to document the
semantics to help understand existing uses, which should not
proliferate, and audit definitions.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The

+functions provide a simple spin-lock facility for limited purposes that
+cannot be served by
+.Xr mutex 9 ,
+such as inside the implementation of
+.Xr mutex 9
+itself on platforms with limited atomic read/modify/write operations.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+is very limited:
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+.Nm
+provides no debugging or diagnostic support through the
+.Dv LOCKDEBUG
+option.
+.It
+.Nm
+does not synchronize between code on a CPU and interrupt handlers
+running on that CPU \(em you must use it with
+.Xr spl 9
+for any locks that may be taken in interrupt context; failing to do so
+will likely lead to hard-to-debug deadlock.
+.It
+.Nm
+does not block preemption, so a thread holding a lock may be preempted,
+potentially requiring other callers to spin for long durations until
+the scheduler runs the holder again.
+.It
+.Nm
+does no exponential backoff to reduce memory traffic during
+contention.
+.El
+.Pp
+Unless you know what you are doing, you should use
+.Xr mutex 9
+instead.
