Right, true on x86 though :-) I noticed your PPC patches have a +3 in
there conditional on __BIG_ENDIAN.

Right, maybe, although something like:
static inline u8 *__qspinlock_lock_byte(struct qspinlock *lock)
{
return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(__BIG_ENDIAN);
}
static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock)
{
return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(__BIG_ENDIAN);
}
is shorter?

I did one for the qspinlock code too..
