Did anybody get around to testing this?  I seem to remember
Shawn saying this wouldn't work.  Maybe the difficult bit is
guessing name mangling, in which case your function pointers
will work better, or maybe it's calling conventions?  I don't
really know.  I want to apply the rest of this patch for the new
WIP, but can't unless this works universally.  Maybe until this
is tested, Isaac, I could apply all of the rest of the patch --
or does it depend upon the wddlock.c->asmlock.s change?
