MUTEX_NORECURSE probably isn't for a mutex -- it's semaphores that don't
want recursion. It would be nicer to have something like
SEMAPHORE(initval). If I thought long enough about it, I'm fairly sure I
could come up with a situation where you'd want to initialise a semaphore
to >1.

Surely, as scsi_error.c is a case in point.
