Hmm, dare I say, I think this is a bug in _wait_for. Without spending 
too much brain power on this, I believe the compiler can screw us over 
here. No matter the bug, cpu_relax is still probably desirable, unless 
there is some newer coolness here? I shall insert a patch before this to 
do the cpu_relax in _wait_for.
Nice catch.
