Comment(by akio):

 I updated and re-validated the patches, following the suggestions given by
 Edward Yang on ghc-devs. I believe now the code doesn't have the
 addCFianlizerToWeak# / finalizeWeak# race condition. It also fixes a
 finalizeWeak# / finalizeWeak# race condition that existed before my
 changes.
