The following series of patches improves and cleans up the x86 lock elision
code. The patches conflict with each other and need to be applied in the given
order.
Warning: I have no access to an Intel machine with TSX and can not test these
patches, or even compile them. I have tested similar code on the s390 port of
the lock elision patches.
Note: I'm not 100% sure I use the return code of _xtest correctly (patch 4).
Ciao
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
