i've split up spinlocking-fixes.patch into 3 parts and reworked them. 
This is the first one, against BK-curr:

it fixes the BUILD_LOCK_OPS() bug by introducing the following 3 new
locking primitives:

  spin_trylock_test(lock)
  read_trylock_test(lock)
  write_trylock_test(lock)

this is what is needed by BUILD_LOCK_OPS(): a nonintrusive test to check
whether the real (intrusive) trylock op would succeed or not. Semantics
and naming is completely symmetric to the trylock counterpart. No
changes to exit.c.

build/boot-tested on x86. Architectures that want to support PREEMPT
need to add these definitions.

Ingo> well, 'read_is_locked()' means: "will a read_lock() succeed"

Fail, surely?
