Hi,

Please consider applying. This is my first wait-queue related patch, so comments
are very welcome.

Description: Use wait_event_timeout() in place of custom wait-queue code. The
code is not changed in any way (I don't think), but is cleaned up quite a bit
(will get expanded to almost identical code).
