[patch 2/3] Directed yield: direct yield of spinlocks for powerpc.
Powerpc already has a directed yield for CONFIG_PREEMPT="n". To make
it work with CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" as well the _raw_{spin,read,write}_relax
primitives need to be defined to call __spin_yield() for spinlocks and
__rw_yield() for rw-locks.
