Subject[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: Add spinlock to request_phb_iospace()
request_phb_iospace() can be called from different CPUs at init
time (at least with my next patch) and thus needs a spinlock. As
for the next patch, this is a temporary workaround for 2.6.22
issues until my rewrite of IO mappings is ready (for 2.6.23)
