Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
 - futex performance increases: larger hashes, smarter wakeups
 - mutex debugging improvements
 - lots of SMP ordering documentation updates
 - introduce the smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release() primitives.
   (There are WIP patches that make use of them - not yet merged)
 - lockdep micro-optimizations
 - lockdep improvement: better cover IRQ contexts
 - liblockdep at last. We'll continue to monitor how useful this is
