I'm going to go produce a new set of spinlocks, I think it'll be a bit more
coherent then.
I'm keeping your other patch in my queue for now, it generally looks good
but I haven't looked closely yet.
Patches 1 and 2 address a same issue ("release-to-acquire"); this is also
expressed, more or less explicitly, in the corresponding commit messages:
it might make sense to "queue" them together, and to build the new locks
on top of these (even if this meant "rewrite all of/a large portion of
spinlock.h"...).
I agree. IIRC you had a fixup to the first pair of patches, can you submit a
v2?
