The tx5900 is one of the mips parts that doesn't have ll/sc,
or indeed any atomic operations at all, so you have to have
help from the OS.

Sony has a library through which you can create, lock and 
unlock mutex objects.  If you don't destroy one of these,
you leak it.

Eric has more details if you need them.
