The YieldProcessor macro can act as a stand in for this purpose, as it compiles down to a single pause instruction on x64 (Which seems to be all that one needs to implement SpinPause in HotSpot). I am less certain about the Windows/ARM64 implementation. There, YieldProcessor compiles down to dmb ishst; yield and I am unsure whether that is a correct SpinPause implementation. If need be, I can retract the ARM64 implementation and only have this for x86

Also the Aarch64 folk went to a lot of trouble to provide a flexible implementation via OnSpinWaitInst, so if anything Windows-Aarch64 should use that. But again "if it ain't broke ..."
