+FUTEXES
+=======
+
+Futexes are supported in NOMMU mode if the arch supports them. An error will
+be given if an address passed to the futex system call lies outside the
+mappings made by a process or if the mapping in which the address lies does not
+support futexes (such as an I/O chardev mapping).
