Two points:

1. I have a TSX capable policy based compile time configurable spin 
lock in AFIO which might be useful. It really ought to enter 
Boost.Detail. It should work in shared memory.

2. Later today hopefully I'll ask this list for review of a new 
Boost.Thread object, the permit. The underlying POSIX permit written 
in C works in shared memory (the C++ object not so).
