OK, so that is not the problem...

No, I have places in my kernel where atomic_dec_and_lock is used. In fact, one of the functions I was pasted where it broke was mmput() in kernel.S (i think from fork.c). I have that function, and it uses atomic_dec_and_lock...
So the problem is most certainly something to do with your configuration not getting the dependency right to use atomic_dec_and_lock
Out of curiosity, what CONFIG CPU are you defined to use?

I am working, but it is not my code. I am merely trying to keep it in sync with the trees. I am trying to get it working for those who it does not compile for, but it works for me and others, so it is hard.
