7a39f52202 [PATCH] sparc32 rwlock fix
read_trylock() is broken on sparc32 (doesn't build and didn't work
right, actually).  Proposed fix:

 - make "writer holds lock" distinguishable from "reader tries to grab
   lock"

 - have __raw_read_trylock() try to acquire the mutex (in LSB of lock),
   terminating spin if we see that there's writer holding it.  Then do
   the rest as we do in read_lock().

Thanks to Ingo for discussion...

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!
