Changes on this v4:
o Really add Matthew Wilcox' preferred tribal knowledge docs
o Add all the pending tags
Changes on v3:
o Tons of spell checks thanks to Miroslav Benes
o Fixed a stupid bug where I was using the timeout without HZ as
reported by Miroslav Benes
o Enanced the tribal knowledge docs for the semaphore Vs mutex
considerations folks might make as suggested by Matthew Wilcox
o Added tags for patches
Changes on v2:
o split the series up into its own
o adopt Peter's patch and extend it with some documentation as to why
some folks stick to binary semaphores over mutexes
o modify kmod.c to use the preferred declaration
