What do you think about rate limiting (only one) the FD case instead  
of hiding it completely (and using the content of the comment as the  
message to print with a little bit of "only report if something is  
obviously broken")? This way we could determine if we need it for  
linux-backwards compatibility.

Is this a proof of concept (do you plan to make a no-op  
LINUX_FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG case in the switch to be consistent) or the  
final solution? I see pros/cons for both and I think it doesn't matter  
how it is done, I'm just curious about your opinion.

Extremely nit-pickicking mode (you can silently ignore it):
   s/But it/It/
   s/any sense/sense/

Bye,
Alexander.
