So, this is how you'll prevent me from running an infinite loop ;-)
The attached patch adds a cond_resched() instead, to allow infinite
loops without DoS. I dropped the unlikely() as it's already in the
definition of signal_pending().

Here I would expect:

   sys_async_wait_for_all(struct syslet_atom *atoms, long nr_atoms)

and

   sys_async_wait_for_any(struct syslet_atom *atoms, long nr_atoms).

This way syslets can be used by different parts of a program without
having them waiting for each other.

Thanks.
