I think this is okay, but I'll write out how I think these work here in 
case anyone has corrections.

Both variants allow the thread to sleep, but the interruptible variant 
can waken due to signals. These signals are a secondary wakeup event and 
would require use to restart the wait and (probably) keep track of how 
long we were waiting before.

We want wakeup only on completion, so we should be using the 
`wait_for_completion_timeout()` variants instead in most (if not all?) 
cases in our display driver.

This probably has some nuances that matter more for different variants 
of UAPI, but with this understanding I think this is:

Now, if we could revive that patch series I had from the other year and 
outright drop `do_aquire_global_lock()`...
