SubjectRe: [PATCH] futex: Fix ZERO_PAGE cause infinite loop

I only know of 3 off-hand. The checkpoint restart guys have test suites
that use the futex syscalls. The futextest test suite obviously does.
There is also the userspace RCU library that Mathieu Desnoyers has been
workingon. None of these make use off the zero page as far as I know.
However, once we sort this out, I shall have to add such a test to
futextest, perhaps something similar to the test in this thread.
