Yeah, it's definitely likely to happen all the time for people using RT
with relevant devices.  I'm not sure I have a good sense of if it's
likely to be a nasty surprise to switch raw spinlocks on by default when
it's currently controllable, I'd expect it'll generally be fine but it's
possibly a bit rude to any users that don't use interrupts...
