Err, umm, the only place I could find EDEADLK used in the S5R3 or S5R3.1
kernel is in the file-locking code, where it's used to indicate -
surprise! - a file locking deadlock, and I couldn't find *any* uses of
EDEADLOCK.  Unless there's some obscure POSIX-related stuff here, I
think some code-slinger just got confused....
