Wouldn't it make sense to return wake_up_process() return value to know if a change of state occurred or not? Sebastian

Let the caller know if wake_up_process() was actually called or not; some users can use this information for ad-hoc. Of course returning true does not guarantee that wake_up_process() actually woke anything up.
