Subject: [RFC][PATCH -rt] spinlock: frob debug bits

Not sure this is actually worth it, but since I wrote it I thought I
might as well send it out. Didn't actually need it. Once I frobbed the
printk stuff to work again there were plenty error to point out what
gone wrong.

gets more debug on a spinlock lockup, but also destroys all lock
debugging.. you win some, you loose some..
