I intentionally named these functions swait_wake* in my initial
implementation for two reasons:

  - typoing wake_up vs. swake_up only emits a compiler warning and does
    not break the build
    
  - I really prefer new infrastructure to have a consistent prefix
    which reflects the "subsystem". That's simpler to read and simpler
    to grep for.

Can we please go with the original names?

swait_prepare()
swait_prepare_locked()
swait_finish()
swait_finish_locked()

Hmm?

Here we have the same swait vs. wait problem as above. So either we
come up with a slightly different name or have an explicit type check
in __swait_event event.

Thanks,
