+ Note: It can happen that multiple threads are calling e.g. \
+ pthread_mutex_lock at the same time as the first lock \
+ operation for this mutex. Then elision is enabled for this \
+ mutex by multiple threads. Storing with relaxed MO is enough \
+ as all threads will store the same new value for the kind of \
+ the mutex. But we have to ensure that we always use the \
+ elision path regardless if this thread has enabled elision or \
+ another one. \

+ - PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP flag is set: \
+ Elision was already enabled for this mutex by a previous lock \
+ operation. See case above. Just use the elision path. \
+ \
+ - PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP flag is set: \
+ Elision was explicitly disabled by pthread_mutexattr_settype. \
+ Do not use the elision path. \
+ Note: The flag PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP will never be \
