i'm wondering, is the conversion to raw_spinlock_t absolutely necessary 
to get a working PARISC kernel? I feel a bit uneasy about using the raw 
spinlocks directly - they were not intended to be used like that, for 
the time being. Right now they are internal types. You should be able to 
use spinlock_types.h just as much to simplify your include file 
dependencies. (as long as you use the spinlock APIs only in .c files)
