  /* Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 do not abort HTM transaction on syscalls,
     instead it suspends the transaction and resumes it when returning to
     usercode.  The side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible,
     even if the transaction is aborted.  This is an issue when a transaction
     is used along with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance,
     where futex might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading
     the condition variable object in an inconsistent state.

     Glibc used to prevent it by always aborting a transaction before issuing
     a syscall.  Linux 4.2 also decided to abort active transaction in
     syscalls which makes the glibc workaround superflours.  Worse, glibc
     transaction abortions leads to a performance issues on recent kernels.

     So Lock Elision is just enabled when it has been explicitly set (either
     by tunables of by a configure switch) and if kernel aborts HTM
     transactions on syscalls (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC)  */
