This is mainly for future proofing the implementation. You are right, this
is currently not required, but it's nice to have a single flags, so that
when the suspended state is used in a different context, the whole logic
surrounding it still works.

Sounds good.

Yup, that would certainly help readability.

The 'waiting_on' part is TLB flushing specific.

Also sounds good.

It does prevent compiler optimisations and is actually required[1]. Also
it makes clear that this variable is shared, and may be accessed from
remote CPUs.
