Sure! How's this?
xarray: Add the xa_lock to the radix_tree_root
This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit x86 as it fits in
the padding between the gfp_t and the void *.
Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep,
so RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().
Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in
the compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that
wasn't added until gcc 4.6.
