Yeah, agreed for both wait_event_state() and signal_wake_up_state().
For now, let's go with the count/dont_count. Can you please write up
a patch for that? Jeff, does this seem okay to you?

For TASK_FREEZABLE, I'm not entirely sure. Combined with
wait_event_state(), it can definitely reduce the number of different
variants of wait_event_*(). Let's see.

Thanks.
