RE: [PATCH v6 13/20] x86/split_lock: Enable split lock detection by default

[David Laight]

FWIW it took me a while to work out what a 'split lock' was.

I suspect because I was thinking of kernel locks, not the
instruction lock prefix.
It also isn't really obvious that 'split' refers to crossing
cache lines.

Referring to it as a 'misaligned lock' might be more
easily understood.
