Definitely - thanks for pointing that out.

You are correct, using a local_t variable isn't strictly needed here. But:
1) It greatly simplifies the code.
2) I'm really hoping one day we can do without the spinlocks, though I
don't know when that will happen.
Get back to me if you're resolute on switching the local_t to a normal type.
