Hurmph, so my thinking was that the above 'locktype' is not actually a
type and therefore a misnomer.

But I see your point about it being a bit of a mess.

Would:

s/LOCKTYPE/LOCKNAME/g
s/seqcount_locktype_t/seqcount_LOCKNAME_t/g

help? Then we're consistently at: seqcount_LOCKNAME_t, which is a type.
