+ * down_trylock() and up() can be called from interrupt context, so we
+ * have to disable interrupts when taking the lock. It turns out various
+ * parts of the kernel expect to be able to use down() on a semaphore in
+ * interrupt context when they know it will succeed, so we have to use
+ * irqsave variants for down(), down_interruptible() and down_killable()
+ * too.
+ *
+ * The ->count variable represents how many more tasks can acquire this
+ * semaphore. If it's zero, there may be tasks waiting on the wait_list.
