Cover letter [patch 0/8] lock bitops and some bitops fixes

[Sent again with the correct date stamps, sorry for the noise :(]

Here is a new set of bitops patches that can hopefully get into the next merge window.

I'm not sending the intrusive part of the patchset (the page lock and buffer lock conversions), so that you'll hopefully apply these bits and get them some early testing. I've just converted bit_spinlock over to use the lock bitops, in order to get a bit of test coverage.

I've spotted some potential bugs in alpha and mips bitops functions, but would like acks from maintainers for _those_ specific patches.

Thanks,
Nick
