If I understand correctly, that would be actually
_mutex_lock_killable_nest_lock() plus a wrapper macro.  But yes,
that is easy so it sounds good.

For the ARM case, which is the actual buggy one (it was complaining
about too high a depth) it still needs mutex_trylock_nest_lock();
the nest_lock is needed to avoid bumping the depth on every
mutex_trylock().

It should be something like

Does that seem sane?
