'complete()' is supposed to be callable from interrupts, but the waiting 
ones aren't. But 'complete()' is all you should need to call from 
interrupts, so that's fine.

So I think completions should work, if done right. That whole "make the 
parent wait for all the children to complete" is fine in that sense. And 
I'll happily take such an approach if my rwlock thing doesn't work.
