Good to get an ack there. One fear that I had was that the "cleanup" of
the semaphore functions being integrated (at Anton's request) may have
been too invasive for people, especially when I only have about 4 or 5
arches to do testing on. It's where the majority of the arch impact lies.

Can I get at least one more ack before pushing things out to lkml?
That's where someone might snarf this for some tree or other and
generate bugreports if I flubbed something, so I'm keeping a lid on it
until it's had time to "cook" or otherwise pass at least minimalistic
arch maintainer review. Hey, this is a stable series -- I think I'm
doing the right thing here.

I realize it's off-hours on .us west coast and/or that $TZ may vary.
I'll be conservative and hold out at least for the clock to roll over
worldwide before spraying it out for general consumption.

Thanks.
