For performance, replace the iint spinlock with rwlock/read_lock. Eric Paris questioned this change, from spinlocks to rwlocks, saying "rwlocks have been shown to actually be slower on multi processor systems in a number of cases due to the cache line bouncing required." Based on performance measurements compiling the kernel on a cold boot with multiple jobs with/without this patch, Dmitry Kasatkin and I found that rwlocks performed better than spinlocks, but very insignificantly. For example with total compilation time around 6 minutes, with rwlocks time was 1 - 3 seconds shorter... but always like that.
