I think this would actually be easier to follow if it was all just in one routine:

static inline void arch_spin_unlock_wait(arch_spinlock_t *lock)
{
	arch_spinlock_t lock_val;

	smp_mb();

	/*
	 * Atomically load and store back the lock value (unchanged). This
	 * ensures that our observation of the lock value is ordered with
	 * respect to other lock operations.
	 */
	__asm__ __volatile__(
"1:	" PPC_LWARX(%0, 0, %2, 1) "\n"
"	stwcx. %0, 0, %2\n"
"	bne- 1b\n"
	: "=&r" (lock_val), "+m" (*lock)
	: "r" (lock)
	: "cr0", "xer");

	if (arch_spin_value_unlocked(lock_val))
		goto out;

	while (!arch_spin_value_unlocked(*lock)) {
		HMT_low();
		if (SHARED_PROCESSOR)
			__spin_yield(lock);
	}
	HMT_medium();

out:
	smp_mb();
}


Thoughts?

cheers
