#ifdef BSWAP_NEEDED, only FUTEX_OP_CMP_EQ and FUTEX_OP_CMP_NE will work
as expected. If we want to do the rest then we'll need to implement
FUTEX_OP_CMP_LT_WRONGENDIAN &c in the kernel.

Or maybe, since we don't do set_robust_list (and would need wrong-endian
support in the kernel for that too), we can assume that it's all
in-process, and hence all _within_ qemu, and we could actually implement
the futex stuff entirely within qemu with qemu's own locking?

For now I think the safer option is just to leave FUTEX_WAKE_OP
unimplemented. Jakub, what do you think?
