Yes, this is required for the single wakeup case to be bounded.

If you have both INTERRUPTIBLE and UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters on a list,
and you were allowed to do INTERRUPTIBLE/UNINTERRUPTIBLE wakeups, the
wakeup would have to do O(n) iteration to find a matching waiter.

Seeing that the entire purpose of simple wait queues was to retain RT
properties, that's entirely retarded ;-)
