    I have a question about the implementation in __wake_up_common() that I'm
    hoping someone might know the background on. This function wakes up
    a specified number of tasks for a wait_queue. I'm wondering why it doesn't
    wake up the tasks in priority order, so that for things following wake-one
    semantics high priority tasks get woken up before lower priority tasks.

    The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that it simplifies the
    O(1) implementation, but I'm wondering if maybe there is something else.

    Thanks,

    Chad
