[GIT pull] final futex fixes for 2.6.31

[Thomas Gleixner]

Linus,

I'm truly embarrassed to ask you to pull the latest futexes-for-linus
git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git futexes-for-linus

I did not just copy your suggestion blindly, I even wondered and
looked up the prototype in mm.h which has the 4th argument "int len"
and said to myself "hey, Linus is right as usual" while in reality
"len" is number of pages.

As I'm running out of brown paperbags I'm declaring all futex bugs
fixed by definition. Futex bugs which will be discovered from now on
are going to be automatically converted to documented features.

Thanks,

	tglx
