+ * Ticketlock test
+ * =============
+ *
+ * - There is a global ticketlock and a table of ticketlocks (one per lcore).
+ *
+ * - The test function takes all of these locks and launches the
+ *   ``test_ticketlock_per_core()`` function on each core (except the master).
+ *
+ *   - The function takes the global lock, display something, then releases
+ *     the global lock.
+ *   - The function takes the per-lcore lock, display something, then releases
+ *     the per-core lock.
+ *
+ * - The main function unlocks the per-lcore locks sequentially and
+ *   waits between each lock. This triggers the display of a message
+ *   for each core, in the correct order. The autotest script checks that
+ *   this order is correct.
+ *
+ * - A load test is carried out, with all cores attempting to lock a single lock
+ *   multiple times
