Why would you want rtapi functions for spinlocks ?

RT-Linux is pretty much a dead project from what activity I have seen. The 
last patch I saw was for a very early 2.6 series kernel and possibly 
experimental. A quick look at the WindRiver overview suggests that they use a 
2.6.14 kernel, but I doubt anyone (here) uses it.

There was a 2.2.x series kernel patched with a very old RT-Linux version, but 
your driver(s) won't compile on anything other than 2.6.xx.

RT-Linux support is a dead end, rtapi for RT-Linux does little more than add 
to the general bit rot.
