Uh, really?
Changing variable names is required to make locking easier?
Changing "x = *(u_char *)p" into "x = LEN(p)" makes locking easier?

In the end, if someone decides that the code needs to be restructured
for better performance in SMP hardware, then that's what'll happen and
changes like these will have little significance at that point in time.
