[PATCH 2.6] PPC64: janitorial HVSI use wait_event_timeout()

Hi,

I seem to be dragging around the following janitorial patch, it was 
submitted upstream to LKML on March 6 2005, but seems not to have made 
it in.  Hollis, please review; I've been running with it for months.

--linas

Use wait_event_timeout() in place of custom wait-queue code. The
code is not changed in any way (I don't think), but is cleaned up quite a bit
(will get expanded to almost identical code).
