Yes, it is true they are almost the same. The difference, and the reason
for p9_xen_write_todo to exist, is that p9_xen_write_todo is called in
the wait_event_interruptible loop, as such it needs to read prod and
cons every time. On the other end, here we want to read them once. Does
it make sense?
