Well, that would be the crucial point on which we differ -- the
rest is all agreement.  I don't think we should accept the patch
*in the absence* of benchmarking to show a result that is neutral
or better.  Spinlocks are just too performance-critical and too
fussy to accept a change on the basis that "the source code looks
fine".  IMO, anyway.
