The non irq-safe spin_lock was there before my patch and now it is
removed with the #if 0/#endif block. I don't need this code but
I left it there disabled to make it clear for everyone else
that it was removed. I can remove it but I rather leave it
there for one release so everyone will have a chance to see
it and object if they feel differently.
