Introduce one central definition of RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM and
RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK in kernel/Kconfig.locks and let architectures
select RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM if they want it, otherwise default to
the spinlock version.

rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all archs"

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
