You can use macro magic to add support for an optional second argument.

#define _spin_lock_init2(lock, name) mtx_init(lock, name, NULL, MTX_DEF)

#define _spin_lock_init1(lock) mtx_init(lock, spin_lock_name("lnxspin"), ...)

#define _spin_lock_init_macro(lock, name, NAME, ...)
         NAME

#define spin_lock_init(...) \
         _spin_lock_init_macro(__VA_ARGS__, _spin_lock_init2, _spin_lock_init1)(__VA_ARGS__)

Then you can choose to specifically annotate certain locks with a name
instead in which case they will use WITNESS.
