Hi Mike,
Thanks for the patch.
Please see below for a couple of comments.

Won't that break on 64-bit architectures with sizeof(void *) != sizeof(int) ?
I wonder if it would make sense to abstract these operations in a generic
recursive mutex. Given that it would delay this patch past v3.10 I won't push
for that.
