[PATCH] USB: UHCI: Get rid of excessive spinlocks
This patch introduces a major simplification into the UHCI driver by replacing its multiple spinlocks with a single one. The protected area of code is slightly larger and there's more possibilities for contention on an SMP system, but I think that shouldn't be a problem. Stephen Hemminger has been kind enough to test this on his SMP computer and he hasn't encountered any difficulties.
