That's #if*n*def, not #ifdef. :)

And speaking of #ifndef, why are these spinlocks here in the first place
and/or why do they now need to be removed? Just suddenly removing locks
because of a new deadlock condition gets my spidey senses tingling.

It all stinks to high heaven, that's for sure. Removing the
page_table_lock from being locked in ioremap, saves us from stopping
cold during the first ioremap (at least on Power3). And as far as the
second, I'm in complete agreement...  warning warning danger will
robinson!

That patch solved the boot problem on my 43p 260. Last progress output
was MMU:exit.
It boots and runs fine now.
