No problems. That makes it 3 patches, will send as replies to this.

futex_atomic_op_inuser() is currently called by core futex code with
page faults enabled. I think that's OK - for futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
I fixed the arm implementation because it was inconsistent with the
other ones, but for futex_atomic_op_inuser() every arch does it
that way.

A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies.
