Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping
rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention.
No functional change.

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

Linus pointed out that other people have spent large amounts of time
and effort to optimize the layout of frequently used structures. Often
these have embedded locks, and the assumption is that a lock takes
4 bytes. Linus also pointed out how to work with the limited options
for atomic instructions on Itanium.

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836).
IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.
Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
