Even WARN() in my opinion should do the job: we'll at least have
something in the log.

(irrelevant to this patch but) in that case I'd suggest we have
something like:
while (1) {
t = wait_for_completion_timeout(&..., 10*HZ);
if (t)
break;
WARN(1, "Timeout while waiting for hypervisor to reply! Keep waiting...");
}
The sole purpose of that is to have something in dmesg.
