The best option right now is to read the code. There are some comments in

Would it be useful to write manpages for these interfaces, or do we
assume that only godlike people can use them anyway? I am willing to

They already exist, but they really are only used to implement higher-level
primitives like locks and condition variables. The rest of the kernel should
use the higher-level primitives anyway.
