(hey, you implemented it first and put it there! :-) Then came Ben's rwsems that wanted pieces of rw-spinlocks, so rwlock.h was created with the shared bits. one thing i was thinking about was to move most but the assembly to asm-generic/spinlock.h. Almost every architecture shares the spinlock type definitions and shares most of the non-assembly functions.
