I don't think this patch should create a new chapter.  There is already
threads.texi---woefully incomplete as it may be (one and a half pages in
the PDF and over 100 functions in the .texi file documented in comments
as undocumented).  There are currently two sections in threads.texi:
Thread-specific Data and Non-POSIX Extensions.  I think this patch
should introduce a new section in that chapter; something like Mutexes.

This issue is independent of the content, which I'll review separately.
