All our other ring buffers have free-running indexes (i.e., they do not wrap
to zero when they reach the end of the buffer). This makes it easier to
determine number of entries in use (it's 'producer minus consumer' -- that's
another thing, it's standard idiom for us to call the indexes producer (or
prod) and consumer (or cons)). We then mask the high-order bits when
actually indexing into the buffer.
