Ok, this one looks _almost_ ok. The only problem is that I think you've lost the UP case. In UP, you shouldn't have the code to spin, and the "spin_or_schedule()" should fall back to just the schedule case. It migth also be worthwhile to try to not set the owner, and re-organize that a bit (by making it a inline function that sets the owner only for CONFIG_SMP or lockdep/debug).
