Hi,

while implementing cpupool support in XEN I had to track down some issues
with deadlocks. Is there any interest in patches for the following?

- compile time switchable spinlock timeout detection

- printout of state of ALL cpus to console in case of hypervisor crash

- some enhancements in lock handling to reduce (potential) latency:
  Today in *lock_irq and *lock_irqsave interrupts are disabled and then
  spinning is started. If the lock is not obtained, enabling and disabling of
  IRQs in the spinloop would block IRQs as short as possible.
