Subject: [PATCH 3/4, v2] x86: enlightenment for ticket spin locks -
eliminate NOPs introduced by first patch
Under the assumption that the nop-s added by the base ticket spinlock
enlightenment patch might be considered undesirable (or worse), here
is an optional patch to eliminate these nop-s again. This is done
through extending the memory operands of the inc instructions used for
unlocking ticket locks to the necessary size, using assembler and
linker features.
