-tip testing found a build error with v2 of the patch:

Ingo,

I'm finding myself confused by the tip branches. I was going to prepare you a "mainline" version of this patch, but tip/core-for-linus-2 doesn't have the original requeue_pi support in futex.c, while tag v2.6.31-rc5 does have that support.

I'll prepare a patch against v2.6.31-rc5, but can you explain how you would prefer for people to send patches that are needed in both mainline and rt, but have slightly different implementations?
