ATI driver conflict with LOCK_STAT

Hi All:
I just found that I can't compile my ATI driver. I have downloaded a
ATI driver from their web site, but I can't compile it successfully,
it reported "FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module fglrx.ko uses
GPL-only symbol
'lock_acquire'",
I found when I close LOCK_STAT, I can compiled ATI driver
successfully. And I also try to remove GPL declaration from
"lock_acquire, lock_release, rcu_lock_map, lockdep_init_map", I can
also use ATI driver. So does anybody meet same problem? Should we
remove GPL limitation from those functions in kernel? Or just make
ATI driver conflict with LOCK_STAT?
Regards
Bowen
