:What difference is there supposed to be between 'struct spinlock' and :'struct spinlock_deprecated'?
spinlock_deprecated is the 'old' spinlock code that bits of the
really low level kernel console support still uses, and a few other
things. No new code should use those APIs.
The spinlock structure and related code is our official spinlock
implementation.
