So, which problem does this solve, the pre-ram locking or the post-ram
locking?

- the pre-ram locking can't be done with a stack, because the cache
between CPUs is not always necessarily in the same state.
-the post-ram code does not need it, works quite nicely already.

This approach scares me... it doesn't solve the one case but makes the
other case much more complex.

Please explain... I must be getting something wrong.
