I could introduce wait_event_idle_cmd() and be at 3 if you think that
helps.

#define __wait_event_idle_cmd(wq, cond, cmd) \
	___wait_event(wq, cond, TASK_IDLE, 0, 0, cmd)

etc..

Its that awkward waited variable that makes it hard to use the 'regular'
2 parameter thing. Although you could of course do horrible things like:

	__wait_event_idle(vcpu->wq, ({
		bool done = kvm_cpu_check_block(vcpu) < 0;
		if (!done)
			waited = true;
		done;
	}));
