Generally, I think you are right, though there are also some checks in deallocation routines that check that a spinlock is not currently held before releasing the memory holding it - should those be allowed to stay? I'd be tempted to wrap the whole check in something, perhaps an "spin_lock_uninit()" and move the check to a header file. Would this be useful for lockdep or anything like that?
