Preempt-RT converts spinlocks to sleeping spinlocks, but some
spinlocks need to be kept as real spinlocks. In 2.6.33 we merged the
spinlock namespace cleanup which allows us to annotate those
locks. The lock type is change to raw_spinlock which is the same as a
common spinlock in !RT kernels.

The following series is a collection of lock annotations from the
preempt-rt tree. Please merge into 2.6.34.

Thanks,

	tglx
