This patch is not going anywhere for a while, until all the archs have
consistant local_*_*() spinlock but I noted what needs to be fixed and who
broke what.

I have another method but it was not reasonable or predictable until I
finish the driver conversion to fully modular and delete 95% of the
duplicated code mess I made over the years.

Your are free to copy it into 2.5 as always.

regards,

--andre
