I'm not quite sure where to put the semaphore versions of the MUST_*
macros, I guess they'd have to go in each of the arch-specific header
files? Anyway, I've got spinlock and rwlock versions of them below,
maybe they're useful enough to go in as a start? I only coded the
ia64 version of rwlock_is_*_locked since it was easy--the i386
versions were a little intimidating...

I thought Oliver's suggestion for tracking the order of spinlock
acquisition was good, hopefully someone will take a stab at it along
with Dave's FUNCTION_SLEEPS() implementation.
