813d4cbe94 * Moved created subdirectory src/system/kernel/lock.cpp to new subdirectory
locks.
* Added syscalls for a new kind of mutex. A mutex consists only of an int32 and
  doesn't require any kernel resources. So it's initialization cannot fail
  (it consists only of setting the mutex value to 0). An uncontended lock or
  unlock operation can basically consist of an atomic_*() in userland. The
  syscalls (when the mutex is contended) are a bit more expensive than semaphore
  operations, though.
