  * closure - _always_ use continue_at(). Doing so consistently will help
  * eliminate an entire class of particularly pernicious races.
  *
- * For a closure to wait on an arbitrary event, we need to introduce waitlists:
- *
- * struct closure_waitlist list;
- * closure_wait_event(list, cl, condition);
- * closure_wake_up(wait_list);
- *
- * These work analagously to wait_event() and wake_up() - except that instead of
- * operating on the current thread (for wait_event()) and lists of threads, they
- * operate on an explicit closure and lists of closures.
- *
- * Because it's a closure we can now wait either synchronously or
- * asynchronously. closure_wait_event() returns the current value of the
- * condition, and if it returned false continue_at() or closure_sync() can be
- * used to wait for it to become true.
- *
- * It's useful for waiting on things when you can't sleep in the context in
- * which you must check the condition (perhaps a spinlock held, or you might be
- * beneath generic_make_request() - in which case you can't sleep on IO).
- *
- * closure_wait_event() will wait either synchronously or asynchronously,
- * depending on whether the closure is in blocking mode or not. You can pick a
- * mode explicitly with closure_wait_event_sync() and
- * closure_wait_event_async(), which do just what you might expect.
- *
  * Lastly, you might have a wait list dedicated to a specific event, and have no
  * need for specifying the condition - you just want to wait until someone runs
  * closure_wake_up() on the appropriate wait list. In that case, just use

  * All this implies that a closure should typically be embedded in a particular
  * struct (which its refcount will normally control the lifetime of), and that
  * struct can very much be thought of as a stack frame.
- *
- * Locking:
- *
- * Closures are based on work items but they can be thought of as more like
- * threads - in that like threads and unlike work items they have a well
- * defined lifetime; they are created (with closure_init()) and eventually
- * complete after a continue_at(cl, NULL, NULL).
- *
- * Suppose you've got some larger structure with a closure embedded in it that's
- * used for periodically doing garbage collection. You only want one garbage
- * collection happening at a time, so the natural thing to do is protect it with
- * a lock. However, it's difficult to use a lock protecting a closure correctly
- * because the unlock should come after the last continue_to() (additionally, if
- * you're using the closure asynchronously a mutex won't work since a mutex has
- * to be unlocked by the same process that locked it).
- *
- * So to make it less error prone and more efficient, we also have the ability
- * to use closures as locks:
- *
- * closure_init_unlocked();
- * closure_trylock();
- *
- * That's all we need for trylock() - the last closure_put() implicitly unlocks
- * it for you.  But for closure_lock(), we also need a wait list:
- *
- * struct closure_with_waitlist frobnicator_cl;
- *
- * closure_init_unlocked(&frobnicator_cl);
- * closure_lock(&frobnicator_cl);
- *
- * A closure_with_waitlist embeds a closure and a wait list - much like struct
- * delayed_work embeds a work item and a timer_list. The important thing is, use
- * it exactly like you would a regular closure and closure_put() will magically
- * handle everything for you.
