This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture specific layer to enable the use of queue spinlock for x86-64. As x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue spinlock may not be apparent. So queue spinlock is not enabled. Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the queue spinlock. Therefore, the use of queue spinlock is disabled when the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@xxxxxx>
