the issues raised in the paper and in this thread were much more
fundamental than SMP-scalability. Considering the costs of a hard-RT
mutex approach itself i dont think SMP-scalability is a primary issue
right now.

yeah, most likely - but correctness comes first. SMP scalability is
something that can be done later.
