I rebased because I had to magic in the v4 from Przemek, and I added the
above tags to the if_not_guard() thing.

I've also pushed out a locking/test branch that includes the iio

Once I push to tip/locking/core (people will get robot mail) the commits
should be stable and can be used in other branches if so desired.
