It's fair to say that our ticket lock has served us well over time, but
it's time to bite the bullet and start using the generic qspinlock code
so we can make use of explicit MCS queuing and potentially better PV
performance in future.

Now that the qrwlock can make use of WFE, remove our homebrewed rwlock
code in favour of the generic queued implementation.

Our ticket-based spinlock structures rely on a definition of u16, so
include linux/types.h explicitly to ensure the thing compiles.

The owner and next members of the arch_spinlock_t structure need to be
swapped when compiling for big endian.

This patch introduces a ticket lock implementation for arm64, along the
same lines as the implementation for arch/arm/.

This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for
AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release
instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies
that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive
monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an
explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to
set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a
branch is more expensive.
For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.
