True.  I may need a bit more convincing, but let's see the patches:

- point against: on the other hand no wakeup is a bug, possibly hard to
find, while an extra wakeup is just annoying.

- point in favor: the same argument (multiplied by 9000) would apply to
a wait flag in the request number, but it would be obviously stupid to
add a no_wait flag to all requests except the couple that need it.

Thanks,

Paolo
