of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt project and identifies
CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled opaquely beind preempt_disable()
or local_irq_save/disable() critical sections.
The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but still there
are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation of data structure
accesses.
The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a couple of
kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended.
There's also other smaller changes and cleanups.
