> lock
> 
> REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2150
> V3 changes:
> change to mov instruction (non locking instuction) instead
> of xchg to simplify design.
> 
> V2 changes:
> Add xchg 16 bit instructions to handle sgdt and sidt base
> 63:48 bits and 47:32 bits.
> Add comment to explain why xchg 64bit isnt being used
> 
> Split lock happens when a locking instruction is used on mis-aligned data
> that crosses two cachelines. If close source platform enables Alignment Check
> Exception(#AC), They can hit a double fault due to split lock being in
> CpuExceptionHandlerLib.
> 
> sigt and sgdt saves 10 bytes to memory, 8 bytes is base and 2 bytes is limit.
> The data is mis-aligned, can cross two cacheline, and a xchg
> instruction(locking instuction) is being utilize.
