36  * The transmit-side code uses an allocation process which is similar
37  * to some theme park roller-coaster rides, where riders sit in cars
38  * that can go individually, but work better in a train.
39  *
40  * 1)	RESERVE a place - this doesn't refer to any specific car or
41  *	seat, just that you will get a ride.  The attempt to RESERVE a
42  *	place can fail if all spaces in all cars are already committed.
43  *
44  * 2)	Prepare yourself; this may take an arbitrary (but not unbounded)
45  *	time, and you can back out at this stage, in which case you must
46  *	give up (RENOUNCE) your place.
47  *
48  * 3)	CLAIM your space - a specific car (the next sequentially
49  *	numbered one) is allocated at this stage, and is guaranteed
50  *	to be part of the next train to depart.  Once you've done
51  *	this, you can't back out, nor wait for any external event
52  *	or resource.
53  *
54  * 4)	Occupy your car - when all CLAIMED cars are OCCUPIED, they
55  *	all depart together as a single train!
56  *
57  * 5)	At the end of the ride, you climb out of the car and RENOUNCE
58  *	your right to it, so that it can be recycled for another rider.
59  *
60  * For each rider, these have to occur in this order, but the riders
61  * don't have to stay in the same order at each stage.  In particular,
62  * they may overtake each other between RESERVING a place and CLAIMING
63  * it, or between CLAIMING and OCCUPYING a space.
64  *
65  * Once a car is CLAIMED, the train currently being assembled can't go
66  * without that car (this guarantees that the cars in a single train
67  * make up a consecutively-numbered set).  Therefore, when any train
68  * leaves, we know there can't be any riders in transit between CLAIMING
69  * and OCCUPYING their cars.  There can be some who have RESERVED but
70  * not yet CLAIMED their places.  That's OK, though, because they'll go
71  * into the next train.
