Subject[PATCH] fix boot hang on some architectures
From
Date
Well, this is a brown paper bag for someone.  The new protocol
registration locking uses a rwlock to limit access to the protocol list.
Unfortunately, the initialisation:

static rwlock_t proto_list_lock;

Only works to initialise the lock as unlocked on platforms whose unlock
signal is all zeros. On other platforms, they think it's already locked
and hang forever.
