I'm doing final testing of Torvald's patches for rwlock and robust
mutexes on ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64, i686, aarch64, and armv7hl to
make sure I have good coverage before commit.

I'm really trying to hit today as the day I commit these changes,
and so far I haven't seen any issue with the patch itself.

The one downside I have is that the reproducer doesn't reliably
reproduce the bug, and that's not a terrible problem, it's just
the kind of issue we face with P&C bugs.
