[PATCH 3/3] FUTEX : NUMA friendly global hashtable

[PATCH 3/3] FUTEX : NUMA friendly global hashtable On NUMA machines, we should get better performance using a big futex hashtable, allocated with vmalloc() so that it is spreaded on several nodes. I chose a static size of four pages. (Very big NUMA machines have 64k page size) This patch
