As the block layer may decide to flush bottom-halfs while the machine is
still initializing (e.g. to read geometry data from the disk), our
postponed open event may be processed before the last frontend
registered with a muxed chardev. Until the semantics of BHs have been
clarified, use an expired timer to achieve the same effect (suggested
by Paolo Bonzini).

This obsoletes the versatilepb hack.

It works for me on both MIPS malta and ARM versatile. Thanks.

Hi,

Funny that you ping about this just now, as I wanted to work on
this today, but sofar I did not get around to it. Maybe tonight I will :)

Long story short: Yes I've some remarks, but I pan to fix those myself and
then merge it in my tree.

I'll get back to you when this is done.

Regards,

Hans

Erm

This was supposed to be a reply to the "Re: [PATCH v2] usb-redir: Allow to attach USB 2.0 devices to 1.1 host controller"
thread, in that context is should make more sense :)

Hans
