I've been keeping one eye on the GSoC project. That patch changes the
inConflicts and outConflicts data structures, but not the locking
protocol. This patch works by introducing per-SERIALIZABLEXACT
locking in the places where the code currently assumes that the
current backend is the only one that could modify a shared data
structure (namely MySerializableXact->predicateLocks), so that
MySerializableXact can be shared with workers. There doesn't seem to
be any incompatibility or dependency so far, so here's a rebased
patch. Testing needed.
