Linus Torvalds 60056060be The biggest change to core locking facilities in this cycle is the introduction
of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt project and identifies
 CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled opaquely beind preempt_disable()
 or local_irq_save/disable() critical sections.
 
 The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but still there
 are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation of data structure
 accesses.
 
 The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a couple of
 kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended.
 
 There's also other smaller changes and cleanups.
