/**
 * \file
 *
 * This file contains a hashtable with LRU keeping of entries.
 *
 * The hash table keeps a maximum memory size. Old entries are removed
 * to make space for new entries.
 *
 * The locking strategy is as follows:
 * 	o since (almost) every read also implies a LRU update, the
 *	  hashtable lock is a spinlock, not rwlock.
 *	o the idea is to move every thread through the hash lock quickly,
 *	  so that the next thread can access the lookup table.
 *	o User performs hash function.
 *
 * For read:
 *	o lock hashtable.
 *		o lookup hash bin.
 *		o lock hash bin.
 *			o find entry (if failed, unlock hash, unl bin, exit).
 *			o swizzle pointers for LRU update.
 *		o unlock hashtable.
 *		o lock entry (rwlock).
 *		o unlock hash bin.
 *		o work on entry.
 *	o unlock entry.
 *
 * To update an entry, gain writelock and change the entry.
 * (the entry must keep the same hashvalue, so a data update.)
 * (you cannot upgrade a readlock to a writelock, because the item may
 *  be deleted, it would cause race conditions. So instead, unlock and
 *  relookup it in the hashtable.)
 *
 * To delete an entry:
 *	o unlock the entry if you hold the lock already.
 *	o lock hashtable.
 *		o lookup hash bin.
 *		o lock hash bin.
 *			o find entry (if failed, unlock hash, unl bin, exit).
 *			o remove entry from hashtable bin overflow chain.
 *		o unlock hashtable.
 *		o lock entry (writelock).
 *		o unlock hash bin.
 *	o unlock entry (nobody else should be waiting for this lock,
 *	  since you removed it from hashtable, and you got writelock while
 *	  holding the hashbinlock so you are the only one.)
 * 	  Note you are only allowed to obtain a lock while holding hashbinlock.
 *	o delete entry.
 *
 * The above sequence is:
 *	o race free, works with read, write and delete.
 *	o but has a queue, imagine someone needing a writelock on an item.
 *	  but there are still readlocks. The writelocker waits, but holds
 *	  the hashbinlock. The next thread that comes in and needs the same
 * 	  hashbin will wait for the lock while holding the hashtable lock.
 *	  thus halting the entire system on hashtable.
 *	  This is because of the delete protection. 
 *	  Readlocks will be easier on the rwlock on entries.
 *	  While the writer is holding writelock, similar problems happen with
 *	  a reader or writer needing the same item.
 *	  the scenario requires more than three threads.
 * 	o so the queue length is 3 threads in a bad situation. The fourth is
 *	  unable to use the hashtable.
 *
 * If you need to acquire locks on multiple items from the hashtable.
 *	o you MUST release all locks on items from the hashtable before
 *	  doing the next lookup/insert/delete/whatever.
 *	o To acquire multiple items you should use a special routine that
 *	  obtains the locks on those multiple items in one go.
