[PATCH] Futex update IV: use a waitqueue.

[PATCH] Futex update IV: use a waitqueue.

[Rusty Russell]

Name: Use a waitqueue, rather than a task ptr
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Tested in 2.5.20
Depends: Futex/copy-from-user.patch.gz

D: This turns the simple task pointer into a waitqueue, which is
D: needed for the poll() patch.
