Alright, seems reasonable.

I am testing this version along with the atomic one which implements
'atomic_fetch_xor_release' [1] (with a fix to replace
atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_rel) and everything seems ok. 

I have tested in two other architectures you haven't tested (s390 and
armhf) and I saw no regressions.  I am also planning to check with some
tests from LTP that uses pthread_cond_* on x86, powerpc64le, s390 and
arm.
