Herbert,

Thanks much for these i810_audio patches. I've been meaning to review
them in-depth for some time.

Could you be kind and "spell out" the patch-1 race for me?

Also, it seems to me that you would want to check for signal_pending()
(a) just after the schedule_timeout(), and
(b) -after- testing the 'signals_allowed' variable ;-)

Comments?

Jeff
