Jeff and I acked the cifs part of the patch series in July - not sure
why the series didn't go in.

The following series converts semaphores which are semantically
mutexes to real mutexes. This is part of the effort to remove
init_MUTEX*

Most of the patches have been in the -rt tree for quite a while with
no bad side effects.

Thanks,

	tglx
