      [PATCH] out-of-line locks / generic · 50658d33
      Zwane Mwaikambo authored
      This patch achieves out of line spinlocks by creating kernel/spinlock.c
      and using the _raw_* inline locking functions.
      
      Now, as much as this is supposed to be arch agnostic, there was still a
      fair amount of rummaging about in archs, mostly for the cases where the
      arch already has out of line locks and i wanted to avoid the extra call,
      saving that extra call also makes lock profiling easier.  PPC32/64 was
      an example of such an arch and i have added the necessary profile_pc()
      function as an example. 
      
      Size differences are with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled since we wanted to
      determine how much could be saved by moving that lot out of line too.
