    common/wait: Clarifications to wait infrastructure
    
    This logic is not as clear as it could be.  Add some comments to help.
    
    Rearrange the asm block in __prepare_to_wait() to separate the GPR
    saving/restoring from the internal logic.
    
    While tweaking, add an unreachable() following the jmp in
    check_wakeup_from_wait().
    
    No functional change.
