ok, great. I looked into merging these bits into perf/lock and perf/lock into
tip:master - but the recent upstream raw-spinlock changes interact with the
new patches.

I also merged latest perf into perf/lock and there's some new build failures:

builtin-lock.c:14:27: error: util/data_map.h: No such file or directory
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-lock.c: In function 'process_sample_event':

builtin-lock.c:429: error: too many arguments to function 'symbol__init'
make: *** [builtin-lock.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

once those are resolved and we have the merged in patches we can graduate this
topic into tip:master.

Thanks,

Ingo
