Ok. I don't have any problem with the patch in principle (I didn't read
it in detail). I was just a bit surprised that you cared so much about
performance of lock allocation.

If you want the patch to go in 3.3, you will have to commit it before
the beta release, which is very soon (this week-end I think).
