Weird, I can compile both 32 and 64 bit domU and dom0 without any
errors like that, looking at the code I'd expect to hit that error
straight away.

I've CC'ed Jan and attached your patch to this message, he may want to
merge this upstream (or point out that I'm wrong again).

Can you test with CONFIG_NR_CPUS set to less than 256?

The code in spinlock.h is assembly and I'm not very familiar with that, before I spend a lot of time looking into this I'd like to know if the bug is specific to the codepath for > 256 cpus.

Thanks
Andy
