I'm still digesting this, but the above seems particularly silly.

Should not the legacy lists also be on the list of lists? I mean, it
makes no sense to have two completely separate means of tracking lists.
You are asking if, whenever someone calls set_robust_list() or 
compat_set_robust_list() to be inserted into &current->robust_list2 
instead of using tsk->robust_list and tsk->compat_robust_list?

I was thinking of doing that, but my current implementation has a 
kmalloc() call for every insertion, and I wasn't sure if I could add 
this new latency to the old set_robust_list() syscall. Assuming it is 
usually called just once during the thread initialization perhaps it 
shouldn't cause much harm I guess.
