All right, I just installed the kernel from lucid-proposed and it would come up okay. Could log on into GNOME desktop and things appear to be working normal, just like with previous kernel updates!

The purpose of the return value of cmpxchg_futex_value_locked changed in 37a9d912b24f96a0591 "futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API" which is not included in 2.6.32. This patch changes the return value to a status code, but in 2.6.32 the return value is the value of the futex or -EFAULT. With this backported patch, any futex with a non-zero value will return -EFAULT.
