BTW. I wonder about other architectures that are of interest to -rt? Like
mips or arm perhaps... Any plans to implement ticket locks on those, or
do they not tend to be used in SMP configurations on -rt yte?

I think both are starting to show more and more SMP machines, so yes,
eventually we'll want ticket locks for them too.

That said, I'm not aware of anyone working on it - I suppose we could
poke the regular arch maintainers.. Ralf, Russell ?

I've no idea; SMP on ARM as far as I've been involved has been silent
for well over a year with very little visible interest from anyone.
That's situation normal for things that "just work" though.
