FYI: The original "adaptive" name was chosen in the -rt implementation to reflect that the locks can adaptively spin or sleep, depending on conditions. I realize this is in contrast to the typical usage of the term when it is in reference to the spin-time being based on some empirical heuristics, etc as you mentioned. Sorry for the confusion.
