If we suppose that on average it takes 1ms to do a fullscreen paint
(which is fairly typical across generations, as the GPUs get faster the
displays get larger), then the likelihood of a synchronous wait on the last
request completing within 2 microseconds is miniscule. On the other
hand, not everything attempts a fullscreen repaint (or is ratelimited by
such) and for those a short busywait is much faster than setting up the
interrupt driven waiter. The challenge is identifying such tasks. Here
we opt to never spin for an unlocked wait (such as from a set-domain or
wait ioctl) and instead only spin in circumstances where we are holding
the lock and have either already completed one unlocked wait or we are
in a situation where we are being forced to drain old requests (which we
know must be close to completion).
