Linus' apparently did not understand this, or he would have immediately realized that double locking was always generating a second non-cacheable memory reference for every lock being taken and released.
Jeff, after working together with Linus for 6 or so years myself, I would make a large wager that Linus understands these issues much better than even you.
But then again, as previously stated, I don't take you very seriously, but I fear that there are a few on this list who still do.
