* Use this just like a normal mutex except that you use the
* lockRead/unlockRead and lockWrite/unlockWrite functions depending on
* weather the section of code your locking is reading data or changing
* data.
*
* This particular mutex is designed so that while a read operation is
* happening other read operations can also happen, but no write operations
* can occur. While a write is happening, no other write or read operation
* can continue. There is an extra feature to ensure writes get a chance
* to complete, when a lockWrite is issued, all current read operations
* continue, but future read operations block until the write is complete.
