+ * Processes a lock, trylock, or unlock model action. @param curr is
+ * the read model action to process.
+ *
+ * The try lock operation checks whether the lock is taken. If not,
+ * it falls to the normal lock operation case. If so, it returns
+ * fail.
+ *
+ * The lock operation has already been checked that it is enabled, so
+ * it just grabs the lock and synchronizes with the previous unlock.
+ *
+ * The unlock operation has to re-enable all of the threads that are
+ * waiting on the lock.
