'complete()' is supposed to be callable from interrupts, but the waiting
ones aren't. But 'complete()' is all you should need to call from
interrupts, so that's fine.

So I think completions should work, if done right. That whole "make the
parent wait for all the children to complete" is fine in that sense. And
I'll happily take such an approach if my rwlock thing doesn't work.
