2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Ayaz Abdulla patch 9e555930bd873d238f5f7b9d76d3bf31e6e3ce93 in mainline. Fix a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver. During initialization, the timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and driver can be very long. The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a extra loop around the timeout logic.
