Ok, the diff certainly looks saner. I didn't look at the code outside
the context of the diff, so that's literally just going by the patches
themselves, but I appreciate the comment ("The wait_count will almost
always be 1, but in case of an overlapping unlock/cancel it could be
2: see ..") and yes, it just makes the old atomic thing sound even
odder.

Thanks,
