This patch modestly improves the scalability and straight-line
performance of x86 semaphores by removing the semaphore_lock and using
the per-semaphore lock instead. If removes several spinlock operations
and allows concurrent operations on separate semaphores.
No bugs were harmed in the preparation of this patch. It's just me
fartarsing aound.
