Subject: [091/146] ips: use interruptible waits in ips-monitor

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@...tuousgeek.org>

commit a3424216e4935221fdaa5ca3c26e024f11297164 upstream.

This is what I intended to do since:
  1) the driver handles variable waits just fine, and
  2) interruptible waits aren't reported as load in the load avg.
