The i_state member is an unsigned long so that it can be used with the
wait bit infrastructure which expects unsigned long. This wastes 4 bytes
which we're unlikely to ever use. Switch to using the var event wait
mechanism using the address of the bit. Thanks to Linus for the address
idea.

Looks good. Interesting trick with the wakeup address. I'm not sure we
100% need it since e.g. __I_NEW waiters are unlikely to combine with
__I_SYNC waiters so sharing a waitqueue should not cause big issues but I
guess we'll deal with that if we run out of waiting bits with the current
scheme. Feel free to add:
