This is backwards; if I get this right at a quick glance it is basically abusing
CondVar to implement a WaitQueue abstraction in your driver.

What you actually seem to look for is a proper WaitQueue abstraction, which
could then also be used to simplify the implementation of CondVar.

I'm already working on a WaitQueue abstraction, since I need it elsewhere. I can
probably post something in a few days.

(I didn't check your use-case but you may want to consider completions and
simple waitqueue as well.)
