[PATCH] Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types
This is a resubmission of patches originally created by Ingo Molnar. The link below is the initial (?) posting of the patch. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115217423929806&w=2 Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types as it causes GCC to generate bad code (see link) and locking should be used on kernel data.
