is_type is a bad name, are we saying "is" as in boolean question?
Or is it short for something like intersection_type? I know you've
just moved the code over :)

This part of the diff looks confusing, do we have a waitqueue and we call
schedule() within a function called with the lock held?

Should the function be called __request_region_locked?
