This is far from an EGCS bug, it's my fault actually...

Linus, can we have a "rwlock_init()" just like we do for spinlocks so
functions can initialize rwlock's in this manner without the compile
bombing on non-SMP because it will in turn from:
tmp->foo_rwlock = RWLOCK_INIT;
end up seeing:
tmp->foo_rwlock = { };
which last time I checked is not legal C :-)
Even better we can do away with this empty structure frivolity in the
spinlock.h implementation headers, your choice.
