Tadeusz Struk 22546b741a IB/hfi1: Fix softlockup issue
Soft lockups can occur because the mad processing on different CPUs acquire
the spin lock dc8051_lock:

[534552.835980]  [<ffffffff810b0460>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x140/0x140

This issue is made worse when the 8051 is busy and the reads take longer.
Fix by using a non-spinning lock procure.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
