I haven't had time to look at it any more (trying to merge the pull
requests that came in today instead), but the more I think about it,
the more I think it was a mistake to do that page_wait_struct
allocation on the stack.
It made it way more fragile and complicated, having to rewrite things
so carefully. A simple slab cache would likely be a lot cleaner and
simpler.
So even if that thing can be made to work, it's probably not worth the pain.
