Since we now use DS prefixes instead of NOP to remove LOCK prefixes,
there are no longer any issues with instruction boundaries moving around.
Depends on :
x86 alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplug

Ok, so I think this is an _excellent_ patch, but I'd like to also then use
LOCK_PREFIX in include/asm-x86/futex.h.
See commit 9d55b9923a1b7ea8193b8875c57ec940dc2ff027.

Applies to 2.6.27-rc2 (and -rc3 unless hell broke loose in futex.h between rc2
and rc3).

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
The format:
1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
underscores.

Lots of asm-*/futex.h call pagefault_enable and pagefault_disable, which
are declared in linux/uaccess.h, without including linux/uaccess.h.
They all include asm/uaccess.h, so this patch replaces asm/uaccess.h
with linux/uaccess.h.

The exception fixup for the futex macros __futex_atomic_op1/2 and
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is missing an entry when the lock
prefix is replaced by a NOP via SMP alternatives.
Chuck Ebert tracked this down from the information provided in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429412
A possible solution would be to add another fixup after the
LOCK_PREFIX, so both the LOCK and NOP case have their own entry in the
exception table, but it's not really worth the trouble.
Simply replace LOCK_PREFIX with lock and keep those untouched by SMP
alternatives.
