Argh, thanks I had meant to rebase before sending.

Yes, happy for some opinions here. I was debating a manual inline vs. modifying
folio_wait_bit_common() but felt an additional two special case arguments would
make things a bit messy and there was no obvious way to refactor or split up
folio_wait_bit_common().
However I just noticed wait and wait_page are related so I might be able to
refactor some of the initialisation to reduce code duplication. Will resend a
rebased version doing that.
