I assume that what you call a no-op is a lock conversion towards the same 
mode as before, correct?

Then I think for this to work we need the second assumption I made, ie. 
the kernel should not deliver the bast event to userland after it 
delivered the cast for the last conversion.

Ok, I understand.

Thank you David!
