Ingo, I don't think you have looked at that header file for a while.

It's already doing that, Davide just changed the names a bit:

	#define wake_up_interruptible(x)        __wake_up(x, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, 1, NULL)

and the extra parameter is already there in the caller.

(Yeah, Davide did add it to __wake_up_locked and __wake_up_sync, but those 
are really not the common cases).

Sure, we can change those #define's to be actual functions (and perhaps 
not export the low-level __wake_up() functions at all), since it's true 
that it would probably shrink the kernel size, but that is really a 
totally independent issue from the whole epoll wakeups thing.
