Huh? The numbers that I posted *were* from the vanilla kernel. I ran
the 2.6.29-rc8 kernel with lock_stat enabled. The lock contention
happens on the same lock in both vanilla and -rt, it just happens
to be more pronounced in the -rt kernel because of the double context
switches that the sleeping spinlock/rt-mutexes introduce.
