based on the pattern across all architectures, it would seem that
asm/rwsem.h is not *meant* to be included directly, but only via
linux/rwsem.h.  i'm not sure if that's the kind of rationale you're
looking for, or if you want a more technical description.

at the moment, ppc is the only architecture that is doing the above,
but it may be that there's a good reason for that that i'm just not
aware of.
