Actually, this should be 'locking' functions.  If you look at the text:

	ACQUIRING FUNCTIONS
	-------------------

	The Linux kernel has a number of locking constructs:

	 (*) spin locks
	 (*) R/W spin locks
	 (*) mutexes
	 (*) semaphores
	 (*) R/W semaphores

It's specifically talking about locking functions that the kernel provides -
or are we calling the spin acquires and R/W spin acquires now?  "Locking" is
the key that people referring to the document are going to use.
