This patch looks good to me. acked.
I think we should do this rather then have applications like dbus
randomly crash, and people not notice it for years.

Handling of EINTR is a very interesting thing in operating systems.
For example, the Python interpreter relies on receiving EINTR
from system calls when you press Control-C at the toplevel.
However in this case the AVC thread is hidden from the consumer, so
it's clearly correct to retry on EINTR.
