  Again, thanks for working on this!

  I've got a patch for some time, very similar to the one you've committed.
However, it didn't help me entirely, because some processes could still be left
sleeping. May be this is fixed by your wakeup_one() -> wakeup() change. I should
test this ASAP. And please tell your opinion on the issue I've described in
previous email.

P.S. Let me do a small style nit-pick. :) All the UMA public functions are
preceeded with "uma_", so it will be more nice to create a public uma_zone_drain(),
that just calls internal zone_drain(). Like uma_print_stats() or uma_zdestroy()
are.
