No, that would just kill the warning but still leave horrible code. There
should really be some way to move the sleeping operation outside of the
spinlock.

>From a brief look at the code, I think the sequence could be converted
from

lock();
suspend();
sleep();
clock_disable();
unlock();

to

lock();
again:
suspend();
unlock();
sleep();
lock();
if (!suspended())
   goto again;
clock_disable();
unlock();
