It turns out that the Qualcomm platforms have two additional "remote
spinlock" mechanisms - both using shared memory.

On most platforms only 1 (out of these 3) is actually consumed, but
e.g. the older msm7x30 uses 2 of them (SMEM and DAL). Due to its age I
don't think it's on anyones todo list to actually support this
platform as of today; but it's out there.


None of these hwlocks are allocated dynamically, so if needed a
dynamic base_id (-1 like other frameworks) would be a acceptable
solution - and can easily be implemented when we need it.

Regards,
Bjorn
