This is a new implementation. After ~20 hours effort I couldn't get
the current x86 rwsem code to work.
This patch breaks all architechtures, but it's a good break and trivial
to fix. It removes the `RW_LOCK_BIAS' arg in include/linux/sched.h:INIT_MM().
This code is architecture-independent.
I found that the SuSE 7.1 install didn't put "usbdevfs" in /etc/fstab
on the Athlon, the PIII has broken USB port hardware.
