[PATCH] linuxthreads.texi update


Hello,

Attached is a patch to the linuxthreads.texi file.

It does the following:
 * Changes terminology to 'type' from 'kind' when discussing
   mutexes. (As per the Unix98 name for the API.)
 * Changes documentation for pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np()
   and pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np() over to the Unix98
   APIs for the same: pthread_mutexattr_settype() and 
   pthread_mutexattr_gettype().
 * Changes references to PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FAST_NP to
   PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 * Begins to introduce discussion of the ``timed'' mutex
   type.  This discussion is currently incomplete.

To me, this didn't seem to be such a large or non-obvious patch
as to need copyright assignment.  If that is needed though, I'll
be happy to fill out and send in the paperwork.
