Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] qspinlock x86: Enable x86 to use queue spinlock

This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture specific
layer to enable the presence of the CONFIG_QUEUE_SPINLOCK kernel option
which can be used to replace the ticket spinlock by the queue spinlock.

The turning on of ARCH_QUEUE_SPINLOCK config option does not mean
that the ticket spinlock will be replaced. It only means that the
architecture supports the replacement. Actual replacement will only
happen if the QUEUE_SPINLOCK config option is also set.
