Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ipc/sem.c: add a per-semaphore pending list
Based on Nick's findings:
sysv sem has the concept of semaphore arrays that consist out of multiple
semaphores. Atomic operations that affect multiple semaphores are supported.
The patch is the first step for optimizing simple, single semaphore operations:
In addition to the global list of all pending operations, a 2nd, per-semaphore
list with the simple operations is added.
Note: this patch does not make sense by itself, the new list is used nowhere.
