As part of JEP 155 (Concurrency Updates) we are proposing to add
StampedLock. A capability-based lock with three modes for controlling
read/write access.

Webrev:

StampedLock, as usual, is coming from Doug Lea, with assistance from
members of the former JCP JSR-166 Expert Group. Aleksey Shipilev, Dave
Dice, and I, have all informally reviewed this, and our feedback is
already incorporated in this version. This is an official call for
review before finalizing the API for inclusion in jdk8.
Thanks,
-Chris.
