    #include <linux/lock.h>

    lock_t lock;

    acquire_lock(&lock);
    release_lock(&lock);

The header that is used is still spinlock.h. The lock.h is included by spinlock.h. Currently, if you include lock.h directly, you will get a compile time error.

This may change in the future when we actually start pushing it towards mainline. But as it stands, spinlock.h should still be used.
