[patch] console and bust_spinlocks() fixes

[Andrew M. <an...@uo...>]

Three things.

- Adds lib/bust_spinlocks.c for architectures which don't
  provide bust_spinlocks() .

- Closes a race between tioclinux() and console scrolling
  which was leaving bits of stuff on the screen when the
  mouse was used with gpm. 

- Added a missing break statement in do_syslog() (James Simmons) 


Patch against -ac20 is here.  The full `remove console_lock' patch
against 2.4.3-pre4 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/console.html
