The largest problem I see in this patch set is that you are making 
unexplained changes in src/include/storage/s_lock.h.  The code that you 
are changing does not only affect AIX but also PPC with other operating 
systems.  AFAICT, the change you are proposing does not correspond to 
the commit that removed AIX support.

Maybe the proposed changes are beneficial for other operating systems as 
well.  But in that case, propose this as a separate patch in a separate 
thread, with supporting information (and probably benchmarks in this case).

If not, then you need to find a way to make this work on AIX without 
materially changing the code that exists for already-supported operating 
systems.
