Patches related to current discussion

Hi Neal

This series contains some fine tuning of Albert's spare activation
test, the new race condition test announced earlier, and two proposed
fixes to avoid it.

Starting at 6 to avoid confusion with the previous series.

Note that without reverting 273989b9 and ce45c819, the ddf tests will
fail anyway. I have a respective patch in my tree, but I'll leave it
to you how to solve that.
