The patch adds cpu_relax() in the body of some spin loops for 2.6.9. The patch also removes redundant barrier() code after cpu_relax() on ia32. In the PAUSE instruction section, IA32 SDM claims "it is recommended that a PASUE instruction be placed in all spin-wait loops". And x86_64 SDM says that PAUSE instruction is same as legacy mode in IA-32e mode operation. This patch is against 2.6.9 (kernel.org). It was tested on ia32 and x86_64.
