great work - the first two patches look good and we've created a new 
-tip topic branch for it, tip/core/futex-64bit.

but this 32-bit x86 patch has problems, it needed 3 fixes to even build 
(see below), then it stopped with various failures related to the 
assembly constraints:

  kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':
  include/asm/futex.h:155: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm'
  [...]
