Hi Ingo
As we pass same flags from glibc to kernel we thought it will be good to
have defines in one place to avoid going out of sync in future.
glibc already has dependency on kernel headers. So were looking for ways
to fix futex.h in kernel so that glibc can use it. But if it is not
feasible then we can define these flags inside glibc headers. Only
additional burden will be that these headers will be required to be
synced whenever there is any change pertaining to them(mostly the defines.)
Thanks

/* Second argument to futex syscall */
this chunk broke the build, so i added the #include back. Really, the
robust mutex glibc patches should _NOT_ automatically include the
kernel's futex.h file. If they do so and rely on an installed
kernel-headers package then they are broken. Just copy the file into the
glibc tree and remove the #include line.
