[PATCH 00/17] powerpc: alternate queued spinlock implementation

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

This replaces the generic queued spinlock code (like s390 does) with
our own implementation. There is an extra shim patch 1a here to get the
series to apply.

So far the microbenchmarks look okay, haven't really had time to write
up a good set of results. I hope to get some significant bigger
workloads some testing time in the next week or so so if those turn
out positive I may resubmit with any tweaks and some more details of
numbers.

Thanks,
Nick
