[PATCH v3 00/14] kernel/locking: qspinlock improvements

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

Hi all,

This is version three of the qspinlock patches I posted previously:

  v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/5/496
  v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/11/618

Changes since v2 include:
  * Fixed bisection issues
  * Fixed x86 PV build
  * Added patch proposing me as a co-maintainer
  * Rebased onto -rc2

All feedback welcome,

Will
