Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Switch arm64 over to qrwlock

Hi all,

This is version two of the patches I posted yesterday:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2017-October/534666.html

I'd normally leave it longer before posting again, but Peter had a good
suggestion to rework the layout of the lock word, so I wanted to post a
version that follows that approach.

I've updated my branch if you're after the full patch stack:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux.git qrwlock

As before, all comments (particularly related to testing and performance)
welcome!

Cheers,

Will
