When I sent the patch to uninline the spinlocks, I inadvertently left
out the change to arch/ppc64/Kconfig which defines the config symbol
for inlining the locks (CONFIG_SPINLINE now).  This patch adds it.  It
also adds a symbol CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR which enables the code for
calling the hypervisor on shared-processor logically-partitioned
system to yield the physical processor to the lock holder when
spinning.  (The code that depends on this symbol is already present in
arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.)

Please apply.

Thanks,
Paul.
