Because I chose to follow the existing naming scheme.

wait_event() - uninterruptible wait
wait_event_interruptible() - interruptible wait
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() - interruptible wait with timeout

so, the uninterruptible wait with timeout can only logically be:

wait_event_timeout()

Lets not go starting a new naming scheme. 8)
