I've now also seen this warning on x86_64 when running Firefox. I
don't know why it didn't show up in my earlier testing.

I remain sceptical that a cherry-picking approach is going to work for
fixing futexes on 4.9. But I now have an additional patch series that
seems to fix this warning (and some other older bugs that I didn't
reproduce) and continues to pass the self-tests. I'll send that along
shortly.
