4) poll_wait: currently it and poll_table_entry are both hard coupled
   to wait_queue_head_t -- so any users of poll_wait are not eligible
   for conversion to simple wait. (I just happened to notice that
   recently.)  A quick grep shows ~500 poll_wait users.
Looks like a good candidate to test the cwait on :-)
Poll uses custom wake functions, which disqualifies them on the spot.
For cwait? That's the complex wait queue (what the current wait queues
will be called in the future).
Urgh, I don't think we should go rename that.. that's going to be lots
of pain for no to little gain.
