Here is a fix patch, which prevents an unstoppable sleep from occurring.
Now, the task can be woken by signals (Ctrl-C), etc. Generated in
response to comments by Domen Puncer & Ravindan Arakali.

Description: Fix a bug in the patched s2io driver, which lead to an
uninterruptible sleep lasting a *long* time. Instead, use
msleep_interruptible() to allow wake-ups early via Ctrl-C and other
signals.
