Need a brief note on the sign off chain.
What is Nuno's role in this series as he's not sending the emails and not
marked with Co-developed-by 

I gave this a much more thorough look in earlier versions than I have today but
a few really minor things inline (that I might have fixed up whilst applying)
but looks like you'll be done a v11 for Randy's docs comments anyway :(

Given you are going to have a v11, please add a comment to this lock
to say what data it is protecting.

Missing docs for lock_queue() and unlock_queue()

Kernel-doc must be complete or bots are going to moan at us :(
