OK.  Understood.

I have the current stock RH7.3 version of spinlock.h .  The block in the 
neighbourhood of line 56 says:
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#include <asm/spinlock.h>

#elif !defined(spin_lock_init) /* !SMP and spin_lock_init not previously
                                  defined (e.g. by including asm/spinlock.h */

And my .config happens to have:
CONFIG_SMP=y

and the code surrounding line 56 in asm/spinlock.h says:
#define spin_lock_string \
        "\n1:\t" \
        "lock ; decb %0\n\t" \
        "js 2f\n" \
        LOCK_SECTION_START("") \
        "2:\t" \
        "cmpb $0,%0\n\t" \
        "rep;nop\n\t" \
        "jle 2b\n\t" \
        "jmp 1b\n" \
        LOCK_SECTION_END

Thanking you for your help,
Robert
