Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
for static spinlocks:
ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt
This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
_use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

Static initialization of spinlocks is preferable to dynamic initialization
when it is practical. This patch updates documentation for consistency
with comments in spinlock_types.h.

This is a trivial patch which fixes a typo on rwlock usage under
Documentation/spinlocks.txt.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
