Weird digression: Where is he getting the term "interlocked"? That's not the industry term ("atomic"), nor is it something from Intel (who talk about the LOCK prefix, and a "bus lock" in older hardware manuals, the word "interlock" appears in the SDM in just a few places where it's talking about pipeline stall behavior).
Chen seems to be using it confidently, and it's clearly there in the names of the API entry points. Is this just something Microsoft made up? It's the first I've noticed it.
