There is a pending MCS lock patch series that adds generic MCS lock
helper functions to do MCS-style locking. This patch will enable
the queue rwlock to use that generic MCS lock/unlock primitives for
internal queuing. This patch should only be merged after the merging
of that generic MCS locking patch.
I would still very much like this patch to be merged into the first. It
saves having to review all the code removed again.

I will merge it to the first one once the once the MCS patches are in the mainline or the tip branch.
