Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 09/15] igb: fix a few items where weren't
	correctly setup for mbx timeout

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

The mailbox timeout routines need to be updated as they were not correctly
handling the case of a mailbox timeout and could cause issues with long
delays when used.
