SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a
long period of time when waiting for a rwlock.  The following patch series
re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is
already there for spinlocks.

I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the
fast path.  I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other
architectures, because the systems are not so large.  Of course, the
possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture
is still there.

This patch:

The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation
depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when
possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.
