ARM D.10 says (since Ada95)

   This subclause describes a language-defined private semaphore
   (suspension object), which can be used for two-stage suspend
   operations and as a simple building block for implementing
   higher-level queues.

I've spent some time googling "two-stage suspend operations" and come up
empty. I did eventually think to look in the Ada 95 Rationale, and there
is an explanation in the corresponding section of Part 3 (which I will
have to think about some more):
http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/95rat/rat95html/rat95-p3-d.html#10

Has anyone any other references?
