a "lock cmpxchg" is > 100 cycles (according to a recent Linux Journal article
from Paul McKenney: 107ns on 700MHz PentiumIII)

But I think you will have benchmarked the alternatives?
BTW, what are they?

you suggested naming the syscall number symbols NR_mq_open instead of
NR_sys_mq_open. In the stub I want to overload some syscalls (e.g. mq_open)
but others not (e.g. mq_timedsend).

How to deal with that?
