[RFC PATCH v2 0/5] futex: Introducing throughput-optimized futexes

v1->v2: - Adds an explicit lock hand-off mechanism. - Adds timeout support. - Simplifies the required userspace code. - Fixes a number of problems in the v1 code. This patchset introduces a new futex implementation called throughput-optimized (TO) futexes. It is similar to PI futexes in
