Gah, I had it in my head as they were two separate modes of working -
one for the waiter as to whether it should be treated exclusively (for
an exclusive wakeup), and the other for the waker to control how many it
should wake up. My fingers were crossed that we had some small bugs given
the multiple drmWaitVblank clients (plus more users in the kernel)
springing up that would miraculously be resolved. I hope we don't find
ourselves in a position where we do need to kill a thundering herd of
vblank waiters.
