Come to think of it... Is there any chance of fixing the actual oops
that happens in this case? I can imagine broken hardware or firmware
that causes this as well and we don't really want to oops in that case
either... That's why we have the timeout in the first place, to not hang
there forever.

Nothing against this patch though.
