- fastlock: optimizations (in general a "nicer" spin on the lock for the other cpus) and cleanups for sparc, sparc64, armv6 (nosmp for now), ppc*, mips* - fastlock: alpha: replace the cond. jump backward with a cond. jump forward and then jump backward (because a cond. jump with a negative relative offset is always predicted as taken and we want it to be predicted as not taken) - fastlock: sparc (32) smp support - lock_ops.h: introduced lock_try and lock_set_try (non-blocking lock_*_get versions, returns -1 if it failed to get the lock and 0 if it succeeds), for all the supported locking methods (fast_lock, pthread_mutex, posix_sem, sysv_sems) - updated locking doc.
