This was part of a performance improvement made by CL 232298 to reduce timer latency. On multiprocessor Plan 9 machines, it triggers memory faults often enough that the builder test suite never completes successfully. See issue #42303 for discussion. As shown by the benchmark result below, worst case latency on plan9_arm is very bad even with the wakep call in place - in the tickers-per-P=1 case, a 3ms timer is 270ms late. Skipping the wakep call and running the benchmark again shows some cases worse, some better. The performance cost doesn't seem excessive for this temporary workaround which makes the plan9_arm builders usable again.
