  • The parenthesis around "likely" used in ia64 __mutex_fastpath_trylock
    is incorrect, and it leads to broken mutex_trylock. Here is the
    patch that fixed the bug. I removed the likely altogether because
    there is no branch and gcc does a reasonable job at predicating the
    return value.

  • add the per-arch mutex.h files for the remaining architectures.

    We default to asm-generic/mutex-dec.h, because that performs
    quite well on most arches. Arches that do not have atomic
    decrement/increment instructions should switch to mutex-xchg.h
    instead. Arches can also provide their own implementation for
    the mutex fastpath primitives.
