Mh, i just saw that i forgot to add the other patch which adds the wait-simple 
stuff. Its attached so thats hopefully all to get rid of that error?

Local smoke test is running... but as its a relative rare race i'm not holding 
my breath.

Btw. is that wait-simple stuff safe from irq context?

Best regards
Tim

PS: sorry for the legalese in the first mail, its just for Steven to keep him 
learning german legalese ;-).
