I meant it's very possible for 'o's to exist. And we have to, of course,
consider them wrt dependencies. No reason we should ignore them.

Honestly, I prefer another naming like XHLOCK_WORK or XHLOCK_SYSCALL over
XHLOCK_PROC, since the functions are for special contexts e.g. works.
But I thought XHLOCK_PROC is not bad because XHLOCK_WORK and
XHLOCK_SYSCALL does never conflict to each other and they anyway run as
normal process contexts.

Remind they are for special contexts.
