Also, one of the things mentioned in that thread is that whenever a driver
is waiting on I/O from a piece of hardware, there should always be some
timeout code. Is that the root of the permanent D state? Is it always a
process waiting on a piece of hardware that should be eventually timing out,
except the timeout code isn't there?
