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.

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/
