Subject: [PATCH 0/2] extend synchro-test module to test spinlocks too

I wanted a synthetic test to help me understand the performance of Rik's
proposed spinlock proportional backoff patches, and the synchro-test
in andrew's mmotm tree looked like an obvious candidate to be extended,
so I ended up with the following couple patches.

I'm not sure whats' the back story with synchro-test though - they seem
to have been stuck in andrew's tree for a very long time now. Is there
any reason delaying their inclusion or is it just that nobody's been
pushing for them ?

Michel Lespinasse (2):
  add spinlock test to synchro-test module
  Document default load and interval values in synchro-test module
