It might be worth exposing the CPU count as a GUC variable. This would
* make it easy to check on the results of the counting patch;
* make it easy to override the patch, if it's wrong on some platform;
* make it easy to experiment to see whether the spinlock behavioral
change actually matters ;-)
But this may be overkill.
