We always said that there are no RT users of rwsem. Therefore it
shouldn't matter because we still assume that nothing depends on this.
After all we had one a one reader implementation of rwsem and this is
the first report (to my knowledge) of a fallout since it was changed to
multi-reader.

That said let me update Mel's patch and resend it without this bit.
