I see that the old implementation took care of a spinlock() call being
interrupted by another spinlock (in interrupt handler), by saving/restoring 
old lock of interest. We don't seem to be doing that in this new version?
Won't that lead to loss of wakeup -> hang?

Also are you planning to push this series into mainline sometime soon?
