[...] it's not really a problem - they integrate nicely. They also found dozens of hard-to-catch bugs already so if you dont care about embedded systems at all then worst-case you can consider it a spinlock debugging mechanism, with the difference that DEBUG_SPINLOCK is far uglier ;) Anyway, this discussion is premature, as i'm not submitting all these patches yet.
