4 Cache lock = sync() lock in ArcCache.
5 CBD lock is the individual mutex of a CBD.

9 We must have done all cache list modifications before releasing the cache lock.
10 - This ensures another thread doesn't, for example, recover a CBD with one
11 id which, in fact, is being "renamed" to another id.
12 - We must also do this to protect the state of the various lists which
13 constitute a chunk of the cache state. Question, is the state of a CDB's
14 content part of the cache state?
