Subject: [PATCH 3.16 131/305] powerpc/pseries/eeh: Handle RTAS delay
 requests in configure_bridge

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell Currey <ruscur@...sell.cc>

commit 871e178e0f2c4fa788f694721a10b4758d494ce1 upstream.

In the "ibm,configure-pe" and "ibm,configure-bridge" RTAS calls, the
spec states that values of 9900-9905 can be returned, indicating that
software should delay for 10^x (where x is the last digit, i.e. 990x)
milliseconds and attempt the call again. Currently, the kernel doesn't
know about this, and respecting it fixes some PCI failures when the
hypervisor is busy.

The delay is capped at 0.2 seconds.
