It looks like `schedule_timeout()` simply calls `schedule()` when the 
timeout passed is `MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT`, so `wait_internal_timeout()` 
could be merged together with the already existing `wait_internal()`, 
where `wait_internal()` would always call `schedule_timeout()`? I may be 
missing something, so just wondering why you decided to introduce 
another method.

Should this be called `wait_timeout_interruptable` instead, so that if 
we need to add one using the `TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE` state later we don't 
need to modfy it again? It also matches the 
`schedule_timeout_interruptible` one in the kernel (although that's not 
a reason to change it just in itself).

Is `Signal` and `Woken` only going to hold a single value? Would it be 
best represented as a tuple struct instead, like so?

    pub enum CondVarTimeoutResult {
        /// The timeout was reached.
        Timeout,
        /// Somebody woke us up.
        Woken (u64),
        /// A signal occurred.
        Signal (u64),
    }

Tiago.
