c3bde5f590 device: benchmark the waitpool to compare it to the prior channels
Here is the old implementation:

    type WaitPool struct {
        c chan interface{}
    }

    func NewWaitPool(max uint32, new func() interface{}) *WaitPool {
        p := &WaitPool{c: make(chan interface{}, max)}
        for i := uint32(0); i < max; i++ {
            p.c <- new()
        }
        return p
    }

    func (p *WaitPool) Get() interface{} {
        return <- p.c
    }

    func (p *WaitPool) Put(x interface{}) {
        p.c <- x
    }

It performs worse than the new one:

    name         old time/op  new time/op  delta
    WaitPool-16  16.4µs ± 5%  15.1µs ± 3%  -7.86%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)

4846070322 device: use a waiting sync.Pool instead of a channel
Channels are FIFO which means we have guaranteed cache misses.
