Hi,

Thanks for working on that. I haven't read the patch yet, but I think it worth
mentioning that with testing locks on AWS we also need to take into account
lock holder/waiter preemtion problem and such things as Intel PLE, since I
believe they can have significant impact in this case.
Right now I'm doing some small research on this topic and I hope soon I'll
finish a tool and benchmark setup to test the influence of such factors in
virtualized environment. In the meantime I would be glad to review your
patches.
