Turns out I'm easily bribed.  The code looks pretty clean and simple
and is refreshingly free of comments, which only confuse people anyway.

I think we could do this as a single patch - is there any benefit to
splitting it apart like this?

The combinations of spin_lock()/spin_lock_irq() and spin_lock_irqsave()
are a bit scary - it's easy to get these optimisations wrong.  Has it
been thoroughly tested with lockdep enabled?
