Why use raw_spin_lock()?

I think you can add a single line comment about what states above
variables tracks. But it is entirely up to you.

I have noticed that you add the above comment whenever you call seamcall() with
0 as parameters. Is this a ask from the maintainer? If not, I think you can skip
it. Just explaining the parameters in seamcall function definition is good
enough.
