We try to implement some PM in radeon KMS and we need to sync with VLBANK for
reclocking engine/memory. The easiest and cleanest way seems to be sleeping in
timer handler just before reclocking. Then our IRQ handler calls wake_up and we
continue reclocking.
As you see our sleeping is condition-less, we just wait for waking up queue.
We hope this waking will happen from IRQ handler, but for less-happy case we
also use some timeout (this will probably cause some single corruption, but
we can live with it).
Following macro is soemthing that seems to work fine for us, but instead
introducing this to radeon KMS only, I'd like to propose adding this to whole
wait.h. Do you this it's something we should place there? Can someone take this
patch for me? Or maybe you find this rather useless and we should keep this
marco locally?
