Yep, I got to the point of deleting the lpi_list_lock on the full
series, which is where I update the documentation. I really didn't want
people to know I'm adding yet another layer of locking in the interim...

Anyways, I think there's sufficient feedback to justify a respin. I'll
make sure the documentation is updated w/ the xa_lock for the stuff I'm
trying to land in 6.9.
