I'm going to keep the keep the changes mostly as-is (except the few
compile fallouts). I thing I wanted to mention in case someone has a
simple idea: We have this now:
|struct {
|         unsigned long            hashmask;
|         unsigned int             hashshift;
|         struct futex_hash_bucket *queues[MAX_NUMNODES];
| } __futex_data __read_mostly __aligned(2*sizeof(long));

This MAX_NUMNODES will be set to 1 << 10 due to MAXSMP for instance on
Debian. This in turn leads to an 8KiB huge queues array which will be
largely unused on a simple machine which has no / 1 nodes. I don't have
access to machine with more than 4 nodes so _assumed_ this is the limit.
Anyway. I'm also not aware about the corner cases, say we have that many
nodes (1024) but just two CPUs. That would lead roundup_pow_of_two(0) in
futex_init().
