Nick sent this patch in September, and Russell applied it as commit
9d417cbe36ee ("ARM: 9122/1: select HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG").
This addresses the problem for arm, but I think we should really
just remove HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG entirely and require it to
be there for SMP.

I have a patch for that, but that needs a separate fix for sparc32,
which I think nobody is interested in working on. I can post it anyway
to get discussion moving again.
