hi,

since FUTEX_FD was scheduled for removal in June 2007 lets remove it.
Google Code search found no users for it and NGPT was abandoned in 2003
according to IBM. futex.h is left untouched to make sure the id does
not get reassigned. Since queue_me() has no users left it is commented
out to avoid a warning, i didnt remove it completely since it is part
of the internal api (matching unqueue_me())
