[infinispan-dev] lock improvement #5

Hi Sanne, Looking at you're ideas around "Replicated Keys & Values, non-replicated Locks" [1]: acquiring a single lock, disregarding of numOwners, is covered in 2(non transactional) and 4(transactional): both suggest an approach for acquiring lock on a single node to avoid deadlocks. 4 also suggest an approach to fail-over the lock to the new owner.

Can you please take a look and let me know if there are aspects of 5 that are not covered by 2&4? Cheers, Mircea [1] http://community.jboss.org/wiki/PossibleLockingImprovements
