The thing is simply a collection of small hacks and should NOT be used
in general.

I never want to see a driver use that code, for example. It was
designed for RCU and RT, and it should damn well be limited to that.
Maybe put #ifndef MODULE around the entire include file then?
And definitely remove this line:

* One would recommend using this wait queue where possible.
I'll respin and port away from swait, and add the #ifndef MODULE and special
note on swait.h.
