Hi.
This is a resubmission of patches originally created by Ingo Molnar.
The link below is the initial (?) posting of the patch.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115217423929806&w=2
Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types as it causes GCC to generate
bad code (see link) and locking should be used on kernel data.

Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities
the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind.
