For very short waits i could use busy-wait, but for longer waits I would like to have something that is non-blocking.
OK. Depending on where you do your busy-wait, of course, it may be pre-emptable and so not blocking to the CPU. I agree that long waits may as well yield the CPU though. I'd suggest using drv_usecwait() for anything up to the millisecond level and then perhaps cv_timedwait() (or if you don't care about using published interfaces, you could use realtime_timout() directly).
