The x86 maintainers clearly thought that the benefits of eliminating the unseemly scramble for spinlocks exceeded this small cost; it seems unlikely that others will disagree. Not only do I not disagree, I'd love to run a kernel that has this cost, well actually I want the advantages, not so much the disadvantages. It sounds like a really nice improvement.
