Syntax:  LOCK instruction
 
  Locks out other processors during execution of the next instruction.
  This instruction is a prefix. It usually precedes an instruction that
  modifies a memory location that another processor might attempt to
  modify at the same time. See Intel documentation for details on multi-
  processor environments.
