 * Do a cache lookup.  We need to be able to read and write entries
 * atomically.  There are a couple of ways to do this:
 *  (1) Have a global lock.  A mutex is too heavy, so instead we would use
 *      an atomic flag.  If the flag is set, we could sit and spin,
 *      but if we're a high-priority thread that may cause a lockup.
 *      Better to just ignore the cache and do the full computation.
 *  (2) Have a "version" that gets incremented atomically when a write
 *      begins and again when it completes.  Compare the version before
 *      and after doing reads.  So long as we have memory barriers in the
 *      right place the compiler and CPU will do the right thing, allowing
 *      us to skip atomic ops in the common read case.  The table updates
 *      are expensive, requiring two writes with barriers.  We also need
 *      some sort of lock to ensure that nobody else tries to start an
 *      update while we're in the middle of one.
 *
 * We expect a 95+% hit rate for the things we use this for, so #2 is
 * much better than #1.
 *
 * _cache is an AtomicCache*
 * _cacheSize is _cache->cacheSize (can save a cycle avoiding the lookup)
 * _key1, _key2 are the keys
 *
 * Define a function ATOMIC_CACHE_CALC that returns a 32-bit value.  This
 * will be invoked when we need to compute the value.
 *
 * Returns the value.
