The code is equivalent to

volatile unsigned char lock;
int remap_barrier;

while (atomic_test_and_set(lock)) {
   while (lock) {
     ;
   }
}
remap_barrier++;
lock = 0;

Eric: could you let me know you you think the code inside function  
spinlock_lock(&remap_lock) is a NOP? This is a suggested lock implementation by
the SPARC spec. Also, the arch_write_lock/unlock in the SPARC port of Linux
uses a very similar implementation.

Andrew: could you let me know in which version I can find this ipa-sra fix? At
least, the stable 4.6.1 doesn't work.
