Since now everyone seems to agree about this series, and since this 
particular patch changes generated code it would be really nice to split 
it into about ten per interface patches:

  - __wait_event_interruptible()
  - __wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
  - __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive()
  - __wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq()
  - __wait_event_interruptible_tty()
  - __wait_event()
  - __wait_event_timeout()
  - __wait_event_killable()
  - __wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout()

The changes seem to be mostly isolated, they are even in separate patch 
hunks most of the time making a splitup relatively easy - with a handful 
of semantic interdependencies.

There's very little downside to doing it the split-up way, and there's a 
lot of bisection and bug review upside, should any of these changes prove 
problematic...

Thanks,
