/* Helper functions that allow driver writers to easily busy-wait (spin) for a
* condition to become satisfied within a certain maximum time span.
*/
/* This implementation first spins without making any system calls for a
* while, and then starts using system calls (specifically, the system call to
* obtain the current time) while spinning. The reason for this is that in
* many cases, the condition to be checked will become satisfied rather
* quickly, and we want to avoid getting descheduled in that case. However,
* after a while, running out of scheduling quantum will cause our priority to
* be lowered, and we can avoid this by voluntarily giving up the CPU, by
* making a system call.
