No problem.

Yeah, the locking is more complex and I suspect that because I'm
dropping this patch the next iteration might become even more complex.
However, I definitely think the complexity is worth it because of how
much better signal delivery scales with these patches.

If you find anything that you think is overly complex I'm sure I could
clean it up with either comments or refactoring the code.
