Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Futex fixes and cleanups

Hi Ingo,

Here are some assorted futex fixes that I was hoping to get upstream in
preparation for my requeue_pi patchset in the near future.  They can found at
the following git repository:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dvhart/linux-2.6-tip-hacks.git futex-fixes

Note that prior to applying these patches to tip/core/futexes I did a "git
merge master" to make sure I was patching the latest futex.c, including Peter's
latest futex_key fix and the older syscall patches that core/futexes hadn't
been synced yet with.  Since this is my first attempt at a git pull request,
and I would still really appreciate some review on the following patches, I
have also included them in reply to this mail.
