Heads-up: the futex syscall numbers are now fixed on Alpha in the locking 
tree via:

  dcc134510eef ("alpha: Fix up new futex syscall numbers")

This would, I presume, trigger a new conflict in -next, which should be 
resolved in an identical fashion.

Jens, feel free to send your tree to Linus in any ordering with the
locking tree, there's no real dependency between them, and whoever
sends last should warn Linus about the known conflict.

Thanks,

	Ingo
