Sorry, the "--wait_bh;" part was a remanent from the "RFC PATCH V1". Without
that statement, we loop in increasing order of elements in wait[] array. I
will use the 'nr_wait' counter approach and post the next version of the
patchset.  I misunderstood your advice to mean that the code should use
similar looping order in both loops.
