The repository is correct.

For inclusion, I think the interaction between the two system calls and
RT-mutex subsystem needs some thoughts especially when multi-cores are
involved. I haven't given further thought on this matter upon the
completion of my thesis work, especially in taking into account Dario's
M-BWI approach.

For UP, the BWI syscalls implementation in the aforementioned branch
does not have Dario's BWI implementation for mutexes. And interaction
between the BWI syscalls and RT-Mutex has not been taken into account.

Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate it!
