OK, I will add that to my notes for ieee1394. Thanks!

I will look into it, but from a cursory glance, the #if 1 case uses
locking around the sleep, which is currently not supported by
wait_event*(). I have sent a patch to LKML regarding this issue and the
need, perhaps, for alternative wait_event*() style functions, such as
ones that accept locks as parameters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Nish
