Subject: Re: [FOR REVIEW, PATCH 2/2] introduce "struct wait_opts" to simplify
	do_wait() pathes

I like the idea just fine.  Drop the "w" on every field name.
If you want them to have a greppable uniqueness/prefix, use "wo_".
I'd go with a shorter name for the canonical pointer parameter,
like "w" or "wo".

It looks cleaner to me to keep the several args to do_wait() and have
it use a single initializer with = { .foo = a, .bar = b } syntax there.

Thanks,
Roland
