Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Simple wait queue support

Hi,

As Peter pointed out the conversion to swait in completion is not so
simple. For the time being I drop it and look at them later again.
The main reason is that complete_all() can be called from hard-irq/atomic
context and we can't use swake_up_all() because that function wants
to run with IRQs enabled. If we can ensure that all callers of
complete_all() are running under normal context for -rt.

In this version I tried to weed out all obvious typos for the
different platforms which I missed in v1. 

These patches are against

  tip/master e6f195fd5c80214c5a4f139ee28798e66e20aa8f

also available as git tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux.git tip-swait

cheers,
daniel

[I got the numbering wrong in v1, so instead 'PATCH v1' you find it
 as 'PATCH v0' series]

changes since v1 (PATCH v0)
 - rebased and fixed some typos found by cross building
   for S390, ARM and powerpc. For some unknown reason didn't catch
   them last time.
 - dropped completion patches because it is not clear yet
   how to handle complete_all() calls hard-irq/atomic contexts
   and swake_up_all.

changes since v0 (RFC v0)
 - promoted the series to PATCH state instead of RFC
 - fixed a few fallouts with build all and some cross compilers
   such ARM, PowerPC, S390.
 - Added the simple waitqueue transformation for KVM from -rt
   including some numbers requested by Paolo.
 - Added a commit message to PeterZ's patch. Hope he likes it.

v0: http://lwn.net/Articles/653586/
