but ... i fixed the performance problem that caused the previous 
DEBUG_MUTEXES scalability problems. (there's no global mutex list 
anymore) We also default to e.g. DEBUG_SLAB which is alot more costly.

i'm wondering, why doesnt your config have DEBUG_MUTEXES disabled? Then 
'make oldconfig' would pick it up automatically.
