to my shame thought I found a bug in an unbalanced wake_count handling.

I claim that if the function had been called __force_wake_auto instead I
would not have embarrassed myself.

But how does this fit with arming the timer from the put() elsewhere? For consistency, should we not also arm it during the put() stage of these combined get-access-put functions? In other words, put it into the GEN6_{READ,WRITE}_FOOTER macros? And could they not be structured to use the same underlying set of functions, i.e. get -> inc ref, write register if previously zero, put->if ref == 1, arm timer, else dec ref?
