Quoting mlaier@: "rwlocks are cool and solve 60% of the problem, but they

lack priority propagation.  So the best thing for the TODO-list would be
to change the entry to "Priority Propagation for rwlock(9)"

So, comment out the "Usable lock implementation with SX-semantics" entry
for now.  I'll rename it to "Priority Propagation for rwlock(9)" when
someone submits a new, complete description for this entry.
