Welcome back from vacation. Let's pick up from where we left. 

Based on our email conversation, here are things I noted:

1. You want to go back to 100ms for virtual functions.
2. You want to print some user visible information when CRS is taking longer.
I can call the vendor ID function 60 times and print a message on each loop
if it helps.
3. You are looking for maximum CRS time reference from the spec. The reference
depends on how you interpret it. I interpreted it as 1 second maximum CRS time.
Keith interpreted it as 1 second being a reference to conventional reset maximum
time rather than CRS time. The fact that no time limit specified in the CRS chapter
also makes me lean towards Keith's interpretation. 
4. I'll clean up the commit message based on your feedback.

Please let me know if I missed anything.

Sinan
