Ah, to be clear: my second patch switches down_trylock() in terms of
down_try() and deprecates it. Then 21 replacement patches. Then finally a
patch to remove down_trylock() altogether.
This was "minimal obviously correct" patch.

It just annoys me to see a turd in the tree. Even a little old one.
Thanks,
Rusty.
Here's the git tree if anyone feels enthused (without final removal patch):
The following changes since commit 2b12a4c524812fb3f6ee590a02e65b95c8c32229:
