Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 2/2] be2net: fix mbox polling for signal reception
Sending mbox cmds require multiple steps of writing to the DB register and polling
for an ack. Gettting interrupted in the middle by a signal breaks the mbox protocol.
So, set the task to UNINTERRUPTIBLE for mbox polling.
