We normally have objections to reserving parts of the name/number space for external patches, but I think robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to justify us making your lives easier.

in the appropriate places? Otherwise someone will come in and try to clean it up again. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
