Doing my quick review of changes to bits of code that overlap where I wish to work I've noticed that PF_SPREAD_SLAB and PF_MUTEX_TESTER have the same value.

define PF_SPREAD_SLAB 0x02000000 /* Spread some slab caches over cpuset */
#define PF_MEMPOLICY 0x10000000 /* Non-default NUMA mempolicy */
#define PF_MUTEX_TESTER 0x02000000 /* Thread belongs to the rt mutex tester */

This will have interesting consequences in some circumstances, I imagine.
