I have decided based on some thought and some discussion with Bruce to hold
off trying to get the S_LOCK backoff change into the mega-patch. While it
is a nice idea, and I even have it all coded, I would like to do some extra
testing and paw around some other code a bit as there is a possibility of it
surfacing some problems with respect to the way signals are handled.

It could I suppose be put out for people to experiment with...
