Please introduce wrappers and use the kernel API names: 
read_lock()/read_unlock()/etc. (and name the mutex primitives 
mutex_lock()/unlock())

That way kernel developers will find their way around the perf locking details 
easily, and we can also use liblockdep to check locking correctness.

Thanks!
