+ *
+ * (*) Except for the window between one task calling up() and the task
+ * sleeping in a __down_common() waking up. In order to avoid a third task
+ * coming in and stealing the second task's wakeup, we leave the ->count
+ * negative. If we have a more complex situation, the ->count may become
+ * zero or negative (eg a semaphore with count = 2, three tasks attempt to
+ * acquire it, one sleeps, two finish and call up(), the second task to call
+ * up() notices that the list is empty and just increments count).
