Comment in include/linux/spinlock.h says:

 * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include
 * files:
 *
 * on SMP builds:
 *
 [...]
 *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the arch_spin_*()/etc.  lowlevel
 *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
 *

This, and the fact that include/asm-generic/spinlock.h and
arch/arm64/include/asm/spinlock.h doesn't prevent the direct
inclusion means, for me, that I should include asm/spinlock.h,
because of all that I need only arch_spin_lock() and arch_spin_unlock().

Am I wrong?
