Any chance to apply this patch before release?

Prevent NMI oopser kill kernel thread when megearid2 driver wating abort or reset command completion.

I talked to Atul and Arjan about this one - the correct thing to do is to replace mdelay() with CPU yielding msleep().

We should backport msleep() in 2.4.29-pre1.

Ok, msleep() backported, but driver isn't fixed. This patch acceptable?
