How much is there left to do for mainline inclusion ?

A rough guess would be nice, just to assess the amount of work and severity.

If that doesn't answer your question, then you might try:

   # tar -xjf patches-3.0-rtx.tar.bz2
   # ls patches/*.patch
   # wc -l patches/*.patch
   # for each patch in patches; do read $patch; done

As I understand it , a lot of subsystes are trying to go lockless, so
things should become easier.

Not really, they just use different mechanisms. Serialization and
synchronization are not restricted to locks and some of these
mechanisms are even more evil than a plain old lock.
