The concepts are all valid (when you need locking, stuff like that), but
many of the APIs have been changed. Fortunately, it's kernel policy that
when an API is changed, we change not only the semantics, but also the
signature of the function (name, number of parameters, etc), so old code
will throw a compile error rather than mysteriously bomb at runtime.
