FWIW this is broken, anything SMP *MUST* define mb(), at the very least.

How's this then? Compile tested only on openrisc/simple_smp_defconfig.

/*
* Queued spinlock
*
+ * A 'generic' spinlock implementation that is based on MCS locks. An
+ * architecture that's looking for a 'generic' spinlock, please first consider
+ * ticket-lock.h and only come looking here when you've considered all the
+ * constraints below and can show your hardware does actually perform better
+ * with qspinlock.
+ *
+ *
+ * It relies on atomic_*_release()/atomic_*_acquire() to be RCsc (or no weaker
+ * than RCtso if you're power), where regular code only expects atomic_t to be
+ * RCpc.
+ *
+ * It relies on a far greater (compared to ticket-lock.h) set of atomic
+ * operations to behave well together, please audit them carefully to ensure
+ * they all have forward progress. Many atomic operations may default to
+ * cmpxchg() loops which will not have good forward progress properties on
+ * LL/SC architectures.
+ *
+ * One notable example is atomic_fetch_or_acquire(), which x86 cannot (cheaply)
+ * do. Carefully read the patches that introduced queued_fetch_set_pending_acquire().
+ *
+ * It also heavily relies on mixed size atomic operations, in specific it
+ * requires architectures to have xchg16; something which many LL/SC
+ * architectures need to implement as a 32bit and+or in order to satisfy the
+ * forward progress guarantees mentioned above.
+ *
+ * Further reading on mixed size atomics that might be relevant:
