Good, I would propose the that the following 7 patches should be merged:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/15/167
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/15/168

Nick: is that ok from your point of view?

I would prefer it:
We simply don't know if a wait-for-zero list, only for single sop operations, is a step in the right direction.

Postgres uses single sop operations with just +-1 on one semaphore.
You wrote that your SAP workload also uses +-1.
According to google codesearch, apache, mozilla, mpich all use +-1.

Thus: Who uses single sop, wait for zero?
I'm just afraid that we optimize for the wrong case.
