I think you changed the code here... you call might_sleep() in
different cases afaict.

Agreed, but it's still correct afaict. I added an extra might_sleep() to a path that really might sleep. I should have mentioned that in the header.

In any case, its moot. Andi indicated this patch is probably a no-op so I was considering dropping it on the v2 pass.
