If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ commit 63f21a56f1cc0b800a4c00349c59448f82473d19 upstream. The existing code it pretty ugly. How about we clean it up even more like this? From: Anton Blanchard We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a CPU to hit real mode.
