It doesn't seem this spinlock was properly initialized.

Quiet possible. There's no SMP on m68k, so all spinlock ops expand to nothing.

Can we apply my patch still? Or were you suggesting you're fine with
the code as it is?

Certainly this isn't my area of expertise but I don't quite get the
point of passing a custom lock to blk_init_queue() if locks resolve to
nothing anyway.

Thanks, applied and queued for 3.9.
