This is a big patch for just changing a timeout, most of this is in
extra verbosity which IMHO has little value, in the error path w
know we will have waited aprox 750 ms, so printing the waiting
time there is not worth all the extra code.

As for adding the warning I'm even less of a big fan of that,
if we need higher timeouts, we need higher timeouts, spamming the
kernel logs with that we are actually hitting the higher timeouts
is not productive IMHO.

Can you please resend this as a one-liner just changing the timeout ?

Regards,

Hans
