Chen, Kenneth W cfab9d0e1d [IA64] fix bug in ia64 __mutex_fastpath_trylock
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.

Chen, Kenneth W a454c2f3d1 [IA64] implement ia64 specific mutex primitives
Implement ia64 optimized mutex primitives.  It properly uses
acquire/release memory ordering semantics in lock/unlock path.
2nd version making them all static inline functions.

Arjan van de Ven 2acbb8c657 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, add default include/asm-*/mutex.h files
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.
