From: Daniel Walker

This is in addition to voluntary preempt U5 . So, first apply up to
Voluntary Preempt U4 , then apply this patch. I'll release for U5 as
soon as it's formally released.

We are releasing the following new features,

- Architecture independent mutex with priority inheritance. Note, we
have only tested this in x86.

- Modified latency tracer to trace non-preemptable mutex locking , in
/proc/lock_trace

- Added two new locking functions _mutex_lock_cpu and _mutex_unlock_cpu.
