We also need to make sure nothing bad happens to an (object, offset)

I'll add a check_consistency() routine to futex_wake() which repeats the
vm_map_lookup(). I'll use a sum of object address and offset for the event.
So, if the event is not the same, I'll just return from futex_wake().

All this looks quite tricky to me, and certainly not a "small hack entry" :-/.

I won't give up. I've spent too much time on this already. I guess I'll just
have to finish it.

Thanks for looking into this.
