Hi Linus,

I did essentially the same thing (just in a less elegant, more paranoid
way) in my old
batching patches.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/63130

They made it a bit better, but overall it's still much worse than 2.6.35
(.36 introduced the
root chain locking). I guess we'll see if it can recover mutex though,
but I'm not
optimistic.
