Locking: kern/50827

[Stephen Hurd]

Well, possibly due to editorial content, kern/50827 has been completely
ignored.  Not sure exactly the correct method of bringing something like
this up, but am I the only one who finds flock(), dotlock, and fcntl()
locks insufficient for their needs?  Originally, this patch resulted from
porting a multi-threaded Win32 program to *nix... however, I've since used
the features it in a number of programs (for FreeBSD only of course) with
good success.  It really makes locking behave as expected.

Has anyone looked at this?  Does anyone have any comments?
