However, unless I'm sorely mistaken, the larger problem is that glibc
removed the futex() call entirely, so these man pages don't describe
something users even have access to anymore. I had to revert to calling
the syscalls directly in the futextest test suite because of this:

de/futextest.h#n67

This really comes down to the fact that we should have a libinux which
contains the basic system call wrapper machinery for Linux specific
things and nothing else.

syscall(3) is toxic and breaks randomly on some platforms.
