Re: [RFC][PATCH 0/3] locking/mutex: Rewrite basic mutex

What's the motivation here? Is it just to unify counter and owner for
the starvation issue? If so, is this really the path we wanna take for
a small debug corner case?

I have not looked at the patches yet, but are there any performance minutia
to be aware of?
