i like the patchset - nice work!

One minor worry i have: these wakeup calls are _very_ common in the 
kernel, and this patch adds an extra parameter to it that is unused (NULL) 
in 99% of the cases.

Would be nice to see the kernel image size increase due to this change 
(which gives a good measure about how much of an issue this is).

If it's of any worrying level, it might make sense to keep the original 
functions untouched, and introduce a second entry point that has one more 
parameter. Ok?
