:What difference is there supposed to be between 'struct spinlock' and 
:'struct spinlock_deprecated'?

    spinlock_deprecated is the 'old' spinlock code that bits of the
    really low level kernel console support still uses, and a few other
    things.  No new code should use those APIs.

    The spinlock structure and related code is our official spinlock
    implementation.
