Here 'tis:

From: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lglock: map to spinlock when !CONFIG_SMP

When the system has only one CPU, lglock is effectively a spinlock; map it
directly to spinlock to eliminate the indirection and duplicate code.

In addition to removing overhead, this drops 1.6k of code with a defconfig
modified to have !CONFIG_SMP, and 1.1k with a minimal config.
