On top of Ingo's patch I attempt a solution that failed:
include/asm-ia64/spinlock.h: 1.23 1.24 dsw 05/01/18 10:22:35 (modified, needs delta)

@@ -126,7 +126,8 @@
#define RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED (rwlock_t) { 0, 0 }

#define rwlock_init(x) do { *(x) = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED; } while(0)
-#define rwlock_is_locked(x) (*(volatile int *) (x) != 0)

+#define write_is_locked(x) (*(volatile int *) (x) < 0)

#define _raw_read_lock(rw) \
do {

However this breaks on the simulator with:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 192kB freed
INIT: version 2.78 booting
kernel BUG at kernel/exit.c:870
