Rather than documenting exactly how the queuing and wakeup occurs on
all functions, you should document it once. i.e. that completions
currently use FIFO queuing. It is probably best to do this at the
definition of the struct completion.

The reason is that if the implementation changes (e.g. to support
priorities and inheritence) the comments are then incorrect and
then there's lots of comments to remove^Wchange.

Cheers,

Dave.
