I pushed out new patches to git, could you have a peek?
- killed another of that mutex abuse
- fixed ATOMIC_FETCH_OP for SH4
- split: rm arch/*/include/asm/mutex*.h include/asm-generic/mutex*.h
into a separate patch to aid in review
- fixed lockdep
- added an uncontended unlock fast path, to mirror the unconteded lock
fast path
- reworked the handoff stuff (again)
I didn't try and be too clever, since its far too hot to think.
Still need to look at adding spinning to the handoff case.
Also need to look at writing (much) better changelogs, they stink.
