Apologies if this isn't the best list to ask this on, but:

Is the 3.0 kernel (or some subsequent kernel) going to support the optional
inter-process synchronisation semantics for mutex, cond var and the like?

Presumably supporting these features has some major impacts on the way that
processes are scheduled, and how processes' resources are tracked.

On a similar note, will the AIO APIs be implemeneted too - and is it
expected that they will provide a worthwhile performance boost over
select/pselect (got that too?) or poll?

Thanks,
James
