+Subject: [PATCH] sdio: use interruptible sleep in kthread main loops
+
+My FreeRunner's load average was leveling off at 2.00 as a result of
+these two kernel threads:

+
+This fixes them to use interruptible sleep primitives while waiting in
+their main loops, as is conventional for kernel threads. They can't
+actually be interrupted since kernel threads ignore all signals, but
+by sleeping this way they get classified as long term waiters, and
+don't get counted as running for purposes of load average calculation.
+
+This is intended as a minimal fix. In the longer term, it'd probably
+make sense to replace the semaphores with completions or something,
+and to do away with some of these StudlyCapped wrapper functions.

+This is untested, but what could possibly go wrong? ;)
