Hey Neil -

One of the issues with the current code is that the contention for
the LRU lock has been effectively buried. It would be nice to have a
way to expose that contention in the new code.

Can this patch or this series add some lock class infrastructure to
help account for the time spent contending for these dynamically
allocated spin locks?
