This port is a little different. Most subsystem synchronization uses
simple critical sections that can be replaced with global or
per-object spinlocks. But the userspace code was heavily exploiting
the fact that irq_lock was recursive and could be taken at any time.
So outer functions were doing locking and then calling into inner
helpers that would take their own lock (because they were called from
other contexts that did not lock).
Rather than try to rework this right now, this just creates a set of
spinlocks corresponding to the recursive states in which they are
taken, to preserve the existing semantics exactly.
