/*
 * Some notes on the implementation:
 *
 * down_trylock() and up() can be called from interrupt context.
 * So we have to disable interrupts when taking the lock.
 *
 * The ->count variable, if positive, defines how many more tasks can
 * acquire the semaphore.  If negative, it represents how many tasks are
 * waiting on the semaphore (*).  If zero, no tasks are waiting, and no more
 * tasks can acquire the semaphore.
 *
 * (*) 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).
