Maybe. However we don't really want to sleep if the action takes only a 
few microseconds, which some of them do. Maybe we need an optimistic 
spin for a few uS to handle the quick commands followed by a sleeping 
wait in the cases where it takes long enough that we don't mind the 
extra wakeup latency?
