Just to state the obvious this is:

#define _Q_LOCKED_OFFSET	0
#define _Q_LOCKED_BITS		1
#define _Q_LOCKED_MASK		0x00000001
#define _Q_LOCKED_VAL		1

#define _Q_TAIL_CPU_OFFSET	16
#define _Q_TAIL_CPU_BITS	16
#define _Q_TAIL_CPU_MASK	0xffff0000

I think it could be worth commenting why qnodes::count instead _Q_TAIL_IDX_OFFSET.

I think the generic version that takes smp_processor_id() as a parameter is clearer - at least with this function name.

It seems like there should be a "decode" function to pair up with the "encode" function.

Does that comment mean it is not necessary to use an atomic_or here?

nit: could just be called set_locked()

same optional style nit: return (atomic_cmpxchg_acquire(&lock->val, val, newval) == val);

Did you change from the xchg_tail() name in the generic version because of the release and acquire barriers this provides?
Does "publish" generally imply the old value will be returned?

In case anyone else is confused by this, Nick explained each cpu can only queue on a unique spinlock once regardless of "idx" level.

The comparison is >= in the generic, I guess we've no nested NMI so this is safe?
