Hi Andrew,
nobody has complained about my spinlock yield patches. There are
now three patches in the patch set: the _raw_[spin,read,write]_relax
introduction, the powerpc enablement and the s390 diag 0x9c patch.
Please add to -mm.

Complain.
I had to hunt around a bit to discover that this functionality has
something to do with "giving up the timeslice of a virtual cpu in favour of
a specific cpu". And also that it is expected to be of some
briefly-alluded-to benefit on powerpc.
So... Could you please flesh out the description/rationale rather a lot
and cc linux-kernel on the patches?
Thanks.
