What tree are you diffing against? The two \n->\t changes in spinlock.h seem
to make sense, but the additional \n in __raw_spin_trylock isn't present in
my vanilla 2.6.16.13 sources. And the line you change in system.h has no
direct equivalent in the vanilla sources since they don't have SMP
alternatives.
