/*
 * Reference counter
 *
 * When val is 0, refcount_inc() does not change the value and returns false.
 * Otherwise, it increments the value and returns true.
 *
 * refcount_dec() decrements the value and returns true when the call
 * caused the value to become 0, false otherwise.
 *
 * Since each call to refcount_dec() is supposed to match a call to
 * refcount_inc(), refcount_dec() called for val == 0 should never happen.
 *
 * This behaviour makes this pattern possible:
 * if (!refcount_inc(r)) {
 *	mutex_lock(m);
 *	// Some other thread may have initialized o by now so check that
 *	// we still need to initialize o.
 *	if (!o) {
 *		o = initialize();
 *		refcount_set(r, 1);
 *	}
 *	mutex_unlock(m);
 * }
 *
 * or
 * if (refcount_dec(r)) {
 *	mutex_lock(m);
 *	// Now that we have the mutex o can't be ininialized/uninitialized
 *	// by any other thread, check that the refcount value is still 0
 *	// to guard against the thread above already having reinitialized o
 *	if (!refcount_val(r) && o)
 *		uninitialize(o)
 *	mutex_unlock(m);
 * }
 *
 * where r if the reference counter, o is the object and m the mutex
 * protecting the object.
