Yes, good.  We all hate locking wrappers but these are worse than
normal.

No.  You've made the code uglier to work around Sparse stupidness.  Also
the braces are not according to kernel style.

	if (share->dual)
		spin_lock(&share->slock);

	share->accel.de_fillrect(&share->accel,
				 base,pitch,Bpp,
				 region->dx,region->dy,
				 region->width,region->height,
				 color,rop);

	if (share->dual)
		spin_unlock(&share->slock);

Sparse will still complain but no one cares.
