  Use ia64_fetchadd() instead of atomic_dec_return()

  __MUTEX_INITIALIZER() has no users, and equates to the more commonly used
  DECLARE_MUTEX(), thus making it pretty much redundant. Remove it for good.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
