I'd really rather see the API/ABI changes required to purge wait.c
entirely, but I guess this will do in the short term.

Two things want further thought.

First, because ARM uses per-vCPU stacks not per-pCPU stacks, it doesn't
need this infrastructure in the first place, but it looks like it's
still compiled in and half wired up.  I suppose you don't notice because
you compile out VM_EVENT on ARM too?

Second CONFIG_WAIT isn't great name because there are many things it
could be.  I'd be tempted to just reuse CONFIG_VM_EVENT and go without
CONFIG_WAIT.  I do not want to see any new users of wait.c, and it will
disappear at some point.
