Ah, I am using pshared cond vars (hence why I needed the recent fix).
What is the plan for putting back the requeue for pshared? (I'm happy to
stay with the futex / sched hack for now, but as a matter of interest).

Incidentally, using cond_signal() I see around 300000 content switches /
sec and with broadcast, 200000 / sec.

Thanks

Luke.
