David S. Miller 9b3bb86aca sparc64: Make rwsems 64-bit.
Basically tip-off the powerpc code, use a 64-bit type and atomic64_t
interfaces for the implementation.

This gets us off of the by-hand asm code I wrote, which frankly I
think probably ruins I-cache hit rates.

The idea was the keep the call chains less deep, but anything taking
the rw-semaphores probably is also calling other stuff and therefore
already has allocated a stack-frame.  So no real stack frame savings
ever.

Ben H. has posted patches to make powerpc use 64-bit too and with some
abstractions we can probably use a shared header file somewhere.

With suggestions from Sam Ravnborg.
