    i was just going through the parisc semaphore implementation, and i turned
    to all the other architectures for inspiration.

    willy@femmeviolet:~/kernels/linux-test6/arch$ find . -type f |xargs grep wake_one_more
    ./alpha/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./sparc/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./mips/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./ppc/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./m68k/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./sparc64/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./sh/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);
    ./mips64/kernel/semaphore.c: wake_one_more(sem);

    i believe all these are redundant now that the wake_up() call has wake_one
    semantics. does anyone else agree?

    (evidence: it's missing from i386, the wake_one semantics are present in
    arch-independent code).
