Ok, in that case is there any point in merging these? I'm all for
breaking up global locks when it makes sense, but if you can't
demonstrate a clear benefit then I'm less inclined to take the churn.

Perhaps we should wait to see if a benefit emerges when/if you convert
the lglock code to use normal spinlocks (like Andi suggested)? That
seems like a rather simple conversion, and I don't think it's
"cheating" in any sense of the word.

I do however wonder why Nick used arch_spinlock_t there when he wrote
the lglock code instead of normal spinlocks. Was it simply memory usage
considerations or something else?
