    \brief  Generic wait system.
    \ingroup kthreads
 
    The generic wait system in KOS, like many other portions of KOS, is based on
    an idea from the BSD kernel. It allows you to sleep on any random object and
    later wake up any threads that happen to be sleeping on that object. All of
    KOS' sync primitives (other than spinlocks) are based on this concept, and
    it can be used for some fairly useful things.
