It is not conventional to use a macro name that is different from the 
header file name.

I believe that if you guard the include line by

#ifdef CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCK
#include <asm/qrwlock_types.h>
#endif

You may not need to do the hack in patch 5.

You can also directly use the <asm-generic/qrwlock_types.h> line without 
importing it to include/asm.

Cheers,
Longman
