I'll give it a try when you're happy with it. I did try yesterday's
with my swapping loads on home machines (3 of 4 survived 16 hours),
and with some google stresstests on work machines (0 of 10 survived).

I've not spent long analyzing the crashes, all of them in or below
__wake_up_common() called from __wake_up_locked_key_bookmark():
sometimes gets to run the curr->func() and crashes on something
inside there (often list_del's lib/list_debug.c:53!), sometimes
cannot get that far. Looks like the wait queue entries on the list
were not entirely safe with that patch.
