Three things.
- Adds lib/bust_spinlocks.c for architectures which don't
provide bust_spinlocks() .
- Closes a race between tioclinux() and console scrolling
which was leaving bits of stuff on the screen when the
mouse was used with gpm.
- Added a missing break statement in do_syslog() (James Simmons)
Patch against -ac20 is here. The full `remove console_lock' patch
against 2.4.3-pre4 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/console.html
