even better than that, why not use the solution that we've implemented
for the -rt patchset, more than a year ago?

the solution i took was this:

- i did not touch the 'struct semaphore' namespace, but introduced a
'struct compat_semaphore'.

- i introduced a 'type-sensitive' macro wrapper that switches down()
(and the other APIs) to either to the assembly variant (if the
variable's type is struct compat_semaphore), or switches it to the new
generic mutex (if the type is struct semaphore), at build-time. There
is no runtime overhead due to this build-time-switching.

- for many months we worked with upstream maintainers to convert dozens
of mutex users over to struct completion, where this was appropriate.

all this simplified the 'compatibility conversion' to the patch below.
No other non-generic changes are needed.

Ingo

----
convert the remaining users of 'full Linux semaphore semantics' over to
compat_semaphore.
